represented on the Committee of the British Fund for the

Relief of Distress in China (formerly the Lord Mayor's Fund),

us unsympathetic or unhelpful. We do appreciate the hardships of the Chinese wounded and I can assure you we shall do what we can within the possibilities of the situation to remedy

them.
