    ing many patients at the time when they were discharged from the hospital, and stood much in need of such assistance. Carriage drives for patients have been furnished through the generosity of the Boston Young Men’s Christian Union. The Flower Missions continued their weekly visits to the hospital during the summer season, and the quartettes of several organizations visited the wards on Sundays during the larger part of the year. Their kindness has been much appreciated, and frequently and favorably commented upon by the patients. The individual contributions of Christmas gifts, of toys and games, and of reading matter have been large, and there have never before been so many or useful articles of clothing given as during the past year. Probably no hospital in Boston has such a large number of patients requiring practi¬ cal aid and assistance as much as those in this hospital. The Trustees, therefore, in their behalf, desire to make special and most grateful mention of this substantial and practical aid. The Trustees again express their own and the obligations of this community to the superintendent, Dr. Rowe, and to those who have been associated with him in the administra¬ tion of the hospital, for their unwearying and faithful service and for the great professional ability and skill which they have brought to their successful work. Respectfully submitted, For the Trustees, Henry H. Sprague, Secretary.
