Editor of the "Nowtu-Cuwa Datey News'
Sim—It was with some surprise and no little pleasure that T read in your Issue of December 18 of the wonderful work which is being carried out by the Shanghai Socwty for the Prevention of Cruelty. to Animals.
had no knowledge that any such Society was in existent. locally and it appears to me that wie scope of activities for an organization of this nature exists in China in an infinitely seater measure than in Western countries and is, therefore, deserving, of all the financial support possible, Perhaps you will be kind enough to forward the attached $20 to the Secretary of the Society on my behalf and I hope that, in spite of the many demands made on people at this" time of the year for other deserving objects, others will show their love for. our dumb friends by contributing such amounts as they are able to.
F.C. Yours, Shanghai, Dee. 19.
