To the Editor of the "NortH-Cuma Darcy News"
Sm,—I wish to thank you for your generous and constant aid in publishing daily the lists of subscriptions to our funds, Money is coming in rather less freely now than it did a few days siroc but another appeal goes forth to-morrow and this I hope will open the purse strings of those who have not yet aided us.
To-day brings one very welcome windfall from Sir Robert Ho Tung of Hongkong who sends us $5,000.00.
Originally we asked for $200,000- and 70 per cent. of this has been obtained within three weeks but it is now certain that we shall have to appeal for a much greater sum eventually so please help us to obtain the first $200,000—within a month of the issue of our first appeal—that is before the 25th inst.
