Stx,—Yon kindly drew attention to the case of the coolie, now in our hospital, who got severely burnt whilst trying to rescue a boy from the fire in Kiukiang Boad semic days ago.
The -enclosed is a further result of the interest stirred up through. your forts. May I ask you to find space for it in your columns? In making known the contents of the letter to the poor man this morning he expressed great gratitude for this generous help, and requested me to convey his sincere thanks to all the kind donors.
He is doing well, though he has had a hard time of it. His hands have suffered most, and I fear their usefulness will be permanently crippled after all the burnt surface has healed.
Thanking you for your help in this matter, Tam ete., "ver. J. Davenport. 6th May.
