BRITISH RED CROSS SOCIETY AND ORDER OF ST. JOHN HOSPITAL
LIBRARY.
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR,—Never since 1914 has the British Red Cross and Order of St. John Hospital Library been so short of books and magazines to give to hospitals. The demand is large. Six thousand were asked for and sent lately in one week. Our stock of novels, books of adventure and travel is almost exhausted. We buy thousands, but in one week they are gone if not added to by gifts from the public, which during August and September are few. We most ,earnestly ask those who have bought amusing novels for journeys, magazines to while away wet days or have
books they can spare to send them to The Secretary, British Red Cross and Order of St. John Hospital Library, 48 Queen's Gardens, London, W. 2. They will immediately be acknow- ledged, and forwarded in well-selected parcels to those who so greatly need them in British hospitals at home and Overseas.
Hospital Library.
P.S.—Should a considerable number of books be given the Library sends sacks and labels on receipt of a postcard and pays carriage. " Carriage forward " luggage' train.
