Correspondence
To the Editor, Buntingford Gazette.
Dear Sir,
I was deeply moved by the letter from Mrs Merryweather appearing in your columns last week, and I herewith enclose a small donation wherewith to buy here a pair of stockings, as I understand this is what the good lady was sadly in need of when paying her last visit, and it certainly must have been very distressing to her friends when they became away of the fact that she was short of this necessity in a civilised country.
I trust my small donation may be the nucleus of a fund to be raised for the purpose of providing a good friend, whose services have been much appreciated in the past, with the necessities of life in order that she may still continue to be of service to the community.
From the letter it is assumed that the house in which the good lady resides is her own property, but is badly in need of repair, and if such is the case, I am of opinion that if the various builders in the town could see their way to execute such repairs as are necessary, the cost of such to rank as a contribution to the fund, it would be greately appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
"A Mother's Son."
Buntingford, Dec. 7th, 1926.
Evidently the pair of stockings mentioned above means two feet of hose, and we have handed over the donation to the Captain - [Ed.]
