Game, Fish, Poultry, Dairy / and Garden Produce of every kind will be offered for sale,and, / thanks to the generosity of Mac Fisheries Ltd., the entire / proceeds will be given to the Reconstruction Fund. / If you are in the habit of sending surplus game to the / Hospitals, this scheme affords the certainty that the utmost / value will be derived from your gift. There is no risk that / any of it will be wasted, and I shall be exceedingly grateful / if you can find an opportunity to help us in this fashion. / It is all important that the supply should be con- / stant, and contributions, however small, will be very welcome, / especially if they can be repeated from time to time. They / should be addressed to me, Middlesex Hospital, W.1. / Yours truly,
