To the Editor of the "Nortu-Cuina Dairy News."
Sir,—l have just received tine further very generous donation of £750 which the readers of the "North-China Daily News Herald" have made towards the funds of St. Dunstan's. This makes their donations up to the magnificent total of £20,685 15s.
The "North-China Daily News Herald" has certainly been the best friend of St. Dunstan's in the newspaper world, and I am_ very proud and happy to think that the results of our training at St. Dunstan's which you have been so good as to often report in your columns, have been of a_ nature which has Ied. your readers to continue their splendid aid.
I had very naturally hoped that some time before this all necessity for appealing for funds would have ended, but, as it has been already stated in your columns, we are still receiving in considerable numbers men whose sight was damaged in the early days of the War, and who have lost it lately. It is impossible to say how long these recruits will continue to reach us, for, besides the men who came direct to us with sight destroyed, move than 24,00 were discharged from the Army on account of damaged eye-sight, and this is a large number from which to draw.
I hope you will be able to convey to your readers the cordial gratitude of the men of St.
junstan's, and of myself and of my colleagues.
I am, etc., ArTHuR PEaRsoN.

and Sailors' Care Committee. St. Dunstan's, Regent's Park,
