the famine in the north., January 24

the famine in the north.

To the Editor of the North China Daily News:

Dear Sir: Will you please insert the inclosed two letters in regard to the famine in the north. The one is from Rev. Père Aymeri, who describes in brief the terrible Condition of things raging over whole provinces. The other is a continuation of letters that have been sent by Mr. Richard at Tai-yuen-foo, but have not come to hand. Both most earnestly appeal for assistance from the famine-relief fund, but our supplies have all been sent north to the scene of suffering. It would be a great satisfaction if timely relief were afforded in answer to these appeals, and the committee would be glad to receive and forward any assistance that might be rendered.
