Appeal on behalf of the Officers' Families Fund by Lieutenant-General Sir Brian Horrocks, K.C.B., K.B.E., D.S.O., M.C.
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Officers' Families Fund was founded in 1899 to give financial help and advice on all personal problems to the widows and dependants of officers of the Royal Navy and the Army killed in action or where death was attributable to service. Grants are made to relieve temporary financial distress; to help with the cost of education and training; and, when possible, to augment the incomes of elderly widows who have only their pensions. Occasionally, temporary assistance can be considered for the dependants of serving officers should they be in special difficulties.
Unfortunately applications show no sign of decreasing, and expenditure greatly exceeds income. The Fund depends entirely on voluntary contributions, and subscriptions are urgently needed.

Through Mary Graham's disclosure of Mr. Pecksniff's behaviour, Tom Pinch is forced to leave his employment. He goes to London, where he is warmly received by John Westlock. On finding that his sister Ruth is unhappy in her post as governess, Tom takes her away, and they find accommodation in Islington. Later he learns from John Westlock that a stranger is offering him employment.
Martin and Mark land in England, determined to make for the Blue Dragon to learn from Mrs. Lupin the whereabouts of Mary Graham. To their astonishment they see Mr. Pecksniff laying the foundation stone of a school; and Martin later realises that this is to be built from his plans, which Pecksniff has stolen.
