He is glad that his 'article on the Red Cross' interested Wood: 'in other circumstances it would have given me much pleasure to follow up the article with an address to your Society on the subject', but 'the work of the Cadet school, which I entered a couple of months ago, takes up my entire time'. He is sending on Wood's letter to Sir Robert Hudson of the Red Cross, 'suggesting that he should communicate with you': 'I quite think that such a meeting ought to be a very good thing for the Red Cross, more especially if Sir Robert could send you a lecturer who has taken practical part in the work abroad.'
