It has been thought that it would be fitting that something should be done to perpetuate the memory of Lady Margaret Fitzalan Howard, whose recent death has been so great a loss to the cause of religion and charity in Catholic London; and as it is now publicly known that a generous donor has undertaken to purchase the site and build a church at Mile End, it would seem that no better Memorial could be raised to the memory of Lady Margaret F. Howard than an altar in the church of the parish where she worked so devotedly. There are many who were connected with Lady Margaret F. Howard by ties of affection, of friendship, and of gratitude for kindness and sympathy received from her, and no doubt they will like to help to erect this Memorial. The names only of the subscribers, and not the amounts, will be mentioned, as the amount of the gift is limited by personal means, while the love of the giver has no limits. Donations may be sent to any member of the Committee, or to the London and Westminster Bank, Brompton Square, S. W., for the Lady Margaret Fitzalan Howard Memorial Fund.
