Orphanages

On 2nd August Catherine wrote from 11, Carlton House Terrace to The Times: It has struck me that one of the most effective means at this pressing moment of assisting the excellent London Hospital is to provide a temporary home for the children (many of them orphans) who are recovering from cholera…. I cannot speak too highly of the work which is being done in this hospital by the chaplain, the doctors, and the nurses — indeed by all — connected with it. Lucy commented, “She took over 150 ‘tinies’ straight into her arms…. Of those not one died.” On 15th August she again wrote to the newspaper. This time she appealed for money for a permanent orphanage.

I am anxious to tender my heartiest thanks to the kind friends who have already subscribed at this moment of great anxiety to the Temporary Home for the children recovering from cholera. Will you again give me your valuable help? I wish to extend the plan. Let us not be content with half a work, but make the home a permanent one, and establish it in good air. I am persuaded I shall meet with a noble response.
