Dear Sirs,
We are pleased to be able to inform you that we have a small Spanish steamer, by the name of SIL, which we have been advised will be arriving to London on or about sixth of June next.
Above steamer is at the present moment at Goteborg (Sweden), after having called at Copenhagen and Stockholm. Both at the Danish and the Swedish ports, all Spanish relief organisations have intensified their propaganda of relief of loyal supporters of the Spanish Government, specially for Santander and Asturias, where the need is now as great as at Bilbao, but less advertised. The SIL is very soon sailing for Antwerp, where the foodstuffs will be transhipped to a British Steamer which will sail direct to Santander and Gijon.
We would very much be pleased if your Relief committee decide to contribute some of the funds for the purchase or foodstuffs for those northern sections of loyal Spain, and for shipment from London on the above mentioned steamer. This Committee are quite willing to keep you informed or the day of arrival or the SIL which, we suggest, can be the occassion for the intensification of effort with that object in view.
Yours faithfully,
Carmen de Cossio,
LA TESORERA
