Letter: A last thought
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Children were obviously sent to the other countries of the Empire well before the turn of the century (Letters, 20 July).
At the end of a tract The Greatest Temptation in the World to Man, the Rev Robert Blake prints the last three pages of an officer's diary. The dying officer muses:
What shall I do with my money? Shall I build a church with it? Or shall I give it to a hospital or to that fellow who advertises so about sending children to Canada? Poor little beggars]
The date of my fifth edition - 1894.
