Acknowledged

The ftollawing oorrapondenna will be of interest to the members and friends of the Queen Mary Needle- work Guild.

Ever since the outbreak of war. the Guild has been unt-irlng in its offorfa for Red Cross work, and in many other activities. Such - nowledgment u these let/tors and many like them. from all branches of the Services, bring an ample re- ward to the Guild for its efforts.

During the last month, the Guild has forwarded (and will continue to forward) six parcels of clothing to M-rs. Allenby, a. former member. who is in charge 01f the distribution of clothing In the distressed area. of PLymouth, so often a target for Nazi bombing. These parcels con- tained clothing. woollens, and blankets —almost new. and a. seal coat in excellent condition. Last week the Enna Jettick club of Bim- bury. presented the Guild. with a beautiful hand made cloth quilt to be included in these refugee par- cels. As t-he QM NI! has been most active in Orphanage work. throughout the years. they were particularly pleased with the thought of the ladies in the Orphan- age district.

We too have some Idea of the many hours the ladies of the Guild must spend in knitting the articles of clothing. and we send you our united gratitude and thanks. with our sincere best wishes for the New Year.
