Upon a proposal made by Lord Grey, the meeting also agreed that 

 after defraying all costs in connection with the Painting, the Memorial, 

 and the Sanctuary, the remainder of the moneys subscribed should be 

 used to promote the wishes of Mr. Hudson* as expressed in his will, with 

 regard to providing leaflets, pamphlets, and pictures designed to excite in 

 children "that interest in and love of the birds which leads to their 

 protection." 



Donations should be sent to the Hon. Treasurer, Hugh R. Dent, 

 Esq., Aldine House, Bedford Street, W.C. 2, or can be paid direct to the 

 "W. H. Hudson Memorial Fund," at the London County Westminster 

 and Parr's Bank, Covent Garden Branch. 



* Note. — Mr. Hudson, in writing in March, 1922, of his bequests and gifts 

 to the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, and his wishes with regard to 

 pictures and leaflets for children, said : — 



" For the first years the interest of the money must suffice ; afterwards 

 the capital may be used as required. But I hope that the capital may 

 be ADDED TO BY OTHERS, SO that the publications which are suitable for 

 distribution on Bird and Tree Day may be kept up indefinitely." 



William Henry Hudson died in London on August i8th, and was buried at 

 Broadwater Cemetery on August 22nd, 1922.
