Appeal on behalf of Pearson's Fresh Air Fund by Anna Neagle , C.B.E.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
In 1892 the late Sir Arthur Pearson, Bt., started to send parties of poor children from the slums of industrial towns into the countryside for a ' breath of fresh air' and from that action came the birth of Pearson's Fresh Air Fund.
It grew rapidly, and in 1908 King
George V and Queen Mary visited an outing in Epping Forest. King George V then became first Patron of the Fund, to be succeeded in due course by King George VI. Her Majesty the Queen is now the Patron of the Fund.

Other parts played by Janet Burnell, Peter Howell and Catherine Salkeld
Martin is not successful in getting employment in London or in arranging to work his passage to America. He is almost destitute when he receives from an unknown source an envelope containing a twenty-pound note. This wind-fall is closely followed by Mark Tapley, who is determined to accompany him to America. Martin arranges a farewell meeting with Mary Graham, who gives him a diamond ring as a keepsake.
After a terrible voyage, Mark and Martin arrive in New York, where they meet a Mr. Bevan, who introduces them to Colonel Cyrus Choke and Zephaniah Scadder, from whom they buy a fifty-acre estate in the Valley of Eden.
