The Dxfchess of Gloucester 66, Fitzjohn’s Avenue, N.W.3, 31st July, 1947, Mrs. Wilbert Martin, Box 195. Exeter, Ontario (Canada). Dear Mrs. Martin, I am afraid that this is a very- belated letter to thank you for your very kind gift of honey. It is extremely kind of you to have thought of the Hospital and to have sent us such a delightful pres­ ent, and I send my most sincere thanks for your kind thought. 1 would have replied sooner, but I have been away on leave and have only just returned. I expect you know that the Hos­ pital was almost completely de­ stroyed In the bombing of 1944, when tlie original Hospital receiv­ ed a direct hit, and when we re­ opened here in May of last year we had no food stores and very little of anything except the bare necessities. Without the help Of the various Red Gross Societies and in particu­ lar*' of the Canadian ‘Red Cross th® difficulties of reconstruction and starting again daring the past strenuous year would have been much greater. We do feel, indeed, that we owe them a debt Of grati­ tude that can never be re-paid for the extraordinary kindness atid generosity that we have received from them, and their magnificent gifts. I ata sending you one Of our Annual Reports for 1945, and wilt let you have one for last year a little latei’ on. With again m.y most grateful thanks for your very kind And wel­ come gift.
