A MEMORIAL TO PRINCESS ALICE.
[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] So.,—May I venture to make an appeal in the Spectator for the Cottage Home for fallen women which is to be erected in Brighton, as a memorial to the late Princess Alice P Her warm sympathy and efficient interest in that important Christian work, to which my life has been devoted, can never be forgotten by me, and I think that no more appropriate evidence of the gratitude so many here felt for all she said and did for our Albion Hill Home could be devised.
A Committee has been organised, comprising the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Shaftesbury, Lord Aberdeen, &c., for carrying out the object; but funds are needed, and I earnestly trust willbe forthcoming. For nearly thirty years I have laboured in this cause, which must be my apology for pleading its claims, knowing, as I well do, how urgently pressing they are.—I am, Sir, &c.,
6 Charlotte Street, Brighton, April 28th. FANNY VrcAas.
