Admirable work among the poor Jews and soldiers
A reviewer praises the writer for eloquence in portraying Miss Sarah Robinson and her charitable efforts. Robinson feeds soldiers with hot coffee, provides writing comforts, channels spare money, and aids a Portsmouth Soldiers Institute project though government delays a site grant. The piece laments space given to a debate and calls for more sketches of other noble women.
