St. James's Palace, S.W. January 31, 1990. "Dear Sir Cecil,
H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, as Patron of the British Legion, takes a very deep interest in its work, and in order to augment its funds, and with the help of a number of authors and artists, who, at his invitation, contribut- ed original material, a book has been produced, of which 1 send you a copy. In addition, H.M. the King has sponsored it, as you will see from the enclosed pros. pectus. The book itself has been acclaimed by the Press through- out the Empire the London Timas giving it a special leading article.
"During the absence of His Royal Highness I am making a very great effort increase the sales of the book up to and be yond the 100,000 mark, and I feel that there must be a great nam- ber
of people throughout the Empire who would wish to help
me.
If Your Excellency could see your way to launch an appeal it is undoubted that the result would be most gratifying. All who can afford it will want to possess a copy of the book which the Prince of Wales collected, and of which he presented a copy to overy V.C. at the Dinner in the House of Lords an Armistice Day last. Possibly, too, there will be some who would wish to pre- sent copies to any hospital in which they may be interested.
"The price of the book is one guinea, and 1 should be added for overseas postage. I should
be pleased to receive orders ad- dressed to me here, with cheques made payable to the British Legion Book Fund-a fund which His Royal Highness has opened for the purpose.
"I can safely say that nothing would be more gratifying to His Royal Highness than that people throughout the Empire should sumport this appeal.
Yours sincerely,

AN ALFRED FRIPP MEMORIAL.
Sir, Only one form of memorial seems possible for Sir Alfred Fripp. His whole life can be summed up in the single lovely phrase, "All sick persons and young children." There- fore to perpetuate his memory best; let 113 do something to perpetuate that life's work. Though all the world was his parish, children came first. So it is proposed that all who knew him, or know of him and who did not?-shall be invited to sube scribe, according to their means and

Cots, Building a New Ward, or in such other manner as the Governors of the Hospital and Sir Alfred's own relativas may decids. No tribute would have pleased him more. Indeed, during his last days anxiety about the Children's Depart ment was his only care.
The Trustees of the Fund will be Lord Lonsdale, G.C.V.O., Wilfrid Godfrey, and myself. Subscriptiona may be sent to, and will be grateful- ly acknowledged by the Honorary Secretary, the "Sir Alfred Fripp" Memorial Fund, 146, Cheapalde, E.0.2. There may be large or small, like the people whom he befriended.
