Dear Friend.
I desire to provide a small ward for children
in a hospital at St. George which accommodates the sick and wounded of
Krilville Beedlers [?] near Sidney New South Wales.
At present children can only be admitted when there
is room in the men's or woman's wards.
Their practice is determined to their other patients.
A philosophical friend has agreed that if
one million stamps are sent him by such a time as the Gov. gives, it will
be sufficient to build such a ward.
I have availed in keeping the chain of letters going
and your assistance is needed. All you have to do is to make three copies
of this letter as I have done only placing the next higher number at the
top of the page letter, in all alike, sign your name, and send to three of
your friends and they in return will do the same.
A friend you think will not mind the trouble involved.
Then send this letter to Mrs. Griffin, Walgros
Mills, New South Wales. Enclose ten or more stamps that have been used,
also the address of the three friends to whom you sent copies. Any
one not wishing to perform this charitable act is asked to return this
to Mrs. Griffin that she may know that the chain is broken.
Although this may seem a small thing to you, yet the
broken chain involves serious loss to the undertakings.
The person receiving no 180 will return it to
Mrs. Griffin without further copies as that ends the chain.
Your friend,
Annie Ross.
