Dear Mr. Kaddooric,
Governnscat Houw, Hongkong,
24th January, 1914..
I have received Messrs. Johnsen, Stokes and Master's Letter of the 22nd January containing your most generous offer to give a sum of 815,000 ce perhaps $20,000 to establish a Women's Institute in the Colony provided that within two years an equal sumy ba raised.
You have made it a condition of your offer that the instituts should be named after me. As you are no doubt aware, I lava for sono years past been closely Associated with the work of the Y.W.CA. and I have no doubt it wre the know-
go that this association has co bud- ing of its on and is hampered by want of lunds that prompted your kivul ofer.
I therefore accept your generous oder, for which I and all those connected with the work I havo mentioned are most deeply grateful. It is our intention that tho V.W.C.A, shall merge in due course into the new institute, which will be managed on similar lines, and, if your with response from enerosity meety others, with a much wider scope.
I have, as you know, demurred to the new institute when established being. called after me, as I feel that I have done no more than many others to merit the distinction. Bob as you cannot be rersuaded to waire this stipulition, I accept it with a deep sonno of your kind thought in making it. I propose there- fore that the new institution be knowŁ 0:1 the Helena May Institute for Women."'
I am sending your letter and my reply to the public Press in the hope that the cthers to contribute towards the con- publicity given to your offer may induce
pletion of the scheme.
Believe me,
Yours sincerely and gratefully,
HELESA A. V. MAY.
The Constitution under which the work of the Y.W.CA. is to b widened in con junction with the now "Institute is under consideration and will shortly be sent to members, Meanwhile, the work of the T.W.C.A. continues as neaal in the Rooms in Queen's Road. Its name is changed to that of "The Women's Insti tate" and will take the full title of
