Women’s Voluntary Services. 41, Tothill Street, Westminster, S.W. 25th Dear Mr. Bowey, A splendid gift arrived here from Exeter for the victims of the floods we had in Great Britain earlier in the and I am writing to thank you sincerely for your generosity. The clothes have already distributed, and Captain Donaldson, the representative over here of the Ontario British Flood Relief Cam­ paign, recently made a tour of the afflicted areas and was able to see something of the actual distribu­ tion and to meet the people who received clothing. He will, I hope, be able to convey a picture of it all to people in Ontario- Coming as they did at the end of the worst winter in living memory, the floods really seemed to be the last straw to so many unfortunate people. They had their homes spoilt, soft furnishings ruined and their clothes often lost completely and coupons were inadequate to make good that disastrous loss. It really was hard to keep smiling under the circumstances, but it is amazing what an. uplift to their spirits has been given by your generosity. It has not merely been the help to their wardrobes but the sympathy involved that has stirred people’s hearts and given them fresh vigour to face the coming winte- with its new difficulties and shortages. If people in Ontario could be here to see the results of their generosity for themselves they won1'4 be far better thanked than anything I could say. Yours sincerely, Elsa Dunbar.
