Eastern Counties Institution for Idiots: Sir; During this month collections are being made for the above charity … … On the 2nd of May, Mrs. Pinsent, one of the members of the Royal Commission for the Feeble-minded, spent four hours at the Institution, and made the following entry in the visitors’ book: “I have been all over the Institution, and have been very much pleased with everything I have seen. If one thing can be singled out where everything is so good, I feel it is the care and attention given to the low-grade cases. I think the Institution can hold its own with any I have seen both in England and America.” —Yours, etc., ANNA W. WELLS. President of the Chatteris and March District: St. Peter’s Rectory, March, Nov. 1st, 1912.
