WALL (London Trades Council) Sir Walter Citrine, T.U.C., Smith Square, S.W.1. Dear Sir Walter, Mattresses for your hospital in Spain The cost of freight per fifty mattresses to Valencia would come to �36.2.6., i.e. about 14/6 per mattress. This, I fear, may make it uneconomical to supply mattresses in this way. Perhaps you would find what the hospital is paying for them locally. Of course, these mattresses would be of the very best quality. In any case, perhaps the most suitable way of getting them there would be to get one of the organisations which is sending out vehicles to take a load. An average-size lorry would take about fifty. Yours sincerely, Geoffrey Pyke Hon. Sec
