I am curious to see the wording of it.

I notice that the Brewin Charity has disappeared

from the body of your report, and no indication is given

that the annual accounts of the Charity will be found in

the Tables annexed to it. I think that a charity for

the relief of disabled workmen and widows and orphans is

distinctive enough to justify a separate heading and a

description, though it may be the curtest, of the work it

is doing.

I have by me some of Hallifax's reports, and see

that two or three lines are given to the Charity under

the heading Tung a Hospital, though nothing is said of

the object of the Charity. The connection of the

Hospital with the Charity is solely to facilitate control

of the funds, and to avoid the appointment of individuals

as trustees; the hospital is a custodian trustee. The

management of the charity, the investment of the funds

and the administration of the income is in the hands of

the Committee.
