Another contribution to our funds has been revived from Swatow. It will be remembered that the first was acknowledged in our report of December 13. The ladies there have not so far taken material from the depot for work—doubtless it is difficult to do so at that distance—but, since they show their sympathy with the Association in sending these money contributions, we have felt they allow us to count Swatow as one of our Centres, Chénkiang, always generous, has sent the monthly contribution and donations as well, and yesterday a donation of $200 came from Wuhu per Mrs. Porter, who writes that it "has been raised by the British Ladies of Wuhu by means of raffle of a number of articles presented by Wuhu residents." Such wide comparation is most encouraging.
Seldom a week passes without a parcel arriving from Tongshan. This week our only contribution en garments, from Treaty Porte comes from that Centre. It is as follows: From the Belg'an ladies, Mesdames Decquier, Perée, Dove, Simon, Haesoppe, and Dauey 47 garments and 216 bandages.
