To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The Woman's Auxiliary of City Missions Society gratefully acknowledges the receipt of valuable packages of clothing and $35 la1 money since its last appeal for help far needy families found by its missionaries. The, receipt of the money has In every case been' acknowledged when address was given.

With it coal has been provided for six tarn illes, food for others and a little help toward back rent to others. No one can realize the great good which a very small sum can do, unless personally in such work, and the gratitude shown amply repays one for all the trouble. The following letter was received from one who received a trifling sum and some clothing: My wife has Just told me of your kindness In your efforts to aid us in our present troubles, such hardships as I hope never again to experience, and that I hope no one else will ever feel. It seems strange that a man with ability, such as I know I possess, with a willingness to work and serve an employer faithfully, could be so lonff out of employment and on the verge of being compelled to break up his home "owing to his inabllltr to pay rent. You may be certain that you and yours will have the prayers of myself, wife and children.

Tbe letter was in every respect that of an educated man. As the need for help will' continue for several months and indeed always exists, managers of the Auxiliary will be at the City Mission Rooms, corner Jay and Wllloughhy streets, from 10 to 5 o'clock, on Thursday, February 10, to receive donations of all kinds.

The news from Washington printed in yesterday's Eagle that the Post Office Department had authorized Postmaster Wilson to contract for an extension to the Flatbush Post Office, caused little surprise to those interested in the matter in Flatbush.

It was expected. Neither will the Flatbush residents be surprised if Congressman Driggs' bill for an appropriation tor a new post office building does not meet with success. The congressman is said to have recently expressed the opinion to some of bis Flatbush friends that there was little hope tor the same. He has made every effort to have the bill become a law, as he realizes that a new building is needed, but, as he stated, Congress will probably pass no appropriation for new buildings. Now that it is almost definitely settled that Flatbush will not be graced with a new post office building the residents of the suburb are pleased to learn that tho office is not to be moved, at least for the present.

The building now used for mail purposes is owned by John Rels Co. As soon as it was stated that there was a prospect that the office might be moved, Mr. Reis made a trip to Washington to see the powers that be. On his return to Flatbush he was asked what encouragement he had received at the capital. He answered with a smile that he thought the post office would remain in the same location.

This assured his friends that an addition would soon be built to the Flatbush post office, as Mr. Reis had already informed Postmaster Wilson that he would do so if the government would stand by its contract. Mr. Reis said this morning that work on the new addition would soon begin and the building would be ready tor use on July 1. It is to be double the size of the quarters now in use.
