My dear Mildred,-
An effort is
being made to establish
a ward for children at
St. George's New South
Wales, Australia.
At present the
children are taken only
when there is a vacancy.
It has been agreed that
if 8000 used stamps are
sent to Miss Mills,
"The Carrington,"
37th & Chestnut Sts,
Philadelphia
Penn.
within a certain time
appointed by the government,
it will be sufficient to
build the ward.
The chain has been
going on for some time.
Will you please make
three copies of this letter
and mail them to three
friends?
Number them all
one higher than this letter. Write
the names of your friends to
Miss Mills, also send her
the used stamps. If any
one is not willing to do this,
please let Miss Mills know,
then the chain will be
broken.
The one receiving no. 480
please write Miss Mills
as that ends the chain.
Hoping that the chain
will not be broken by you,
Lovingly,
Helen G. Douglas
