It gives me very great pleasure indeed to tell of the happy time I have had with my boy. I noticed the greatest improvement in him the moment he stepped out of the railway carriage unaided, when his sister brought him home for his month’s holiday. He has improved in every way. He looked the picture of health, and has got much stouter ; in fact, every one has remarked upon the improvement in him. It is needless for me to say how grateful I am to all at the Royal Albert Institution for all that is being done lor him. Words cannot express all I feel, but I do most earnestly thank all who have so efficiently ministered to his comfort and well-being. It is a great comfort to me to know he is so well cared for. I can never express my gratitude for all the kindness shown to him and also to myself, and it makes me more than ever anxious to do all I can in my humble way to help such a noble Institution.—September 1st, 1926.
