of your Fourth Report and 100
copies of "A Day at St. Stephen's House." We are much pleased to
make these vivid descriptions of your assistance to the Germans
in England accessible to so many, as our experience has taught
us that direct information has a much greater effect than our
own full or abbreviated translations. But we try again and again
with the latter, and at the present moment two different
sketches of our endeavours in England and Germany for mutual
help have been accepted by various papers, so we may hope to be
able to send you a copy before long. Grateful as ever, with
kindest greetings in the name of all."

The same idea is carried further in a letter received by one of
our helpers from a personal friend in Germany:

"Your printed report which came into my hands a few days ago
has made me very happy. I was not surprised, but it only
strengthened my belief in you and in the good of humanity. What
you have done and are still doing brings nearer the goal that
now seems so far off--everlasting peace grounded in respect and
mutual understanding."

regular visits by the wives and children were at last permitted,
the regulations were at first rather strict. The separation of
husband and wife by a table was felt to be a special
hardship.[39] The visits taking a satisfactory course, however,
this was altered in a few weeks, and since then visitors have
been allowed in the camp itself and may walk around and converse
freely with their relatives. Permission was, indeed, soon
extended to mothers and sisters, and also fiancees of those
interned, provided the engagement had taken place before
internment. At the present time wives living in and around
Berlin are allowed to visit once a month, the time permitted
being nominally one hour, but this is fortunately not
interpreted very strictly, so that in actual practice two hours
are often allowed. Wives coming from a distance receive
permission every three months; and it was for a long time a
concern of these women and of their husbands--a concern shared
by us--that these visits had to be made in a single period of
two hours. Over and over again one found that the joy of reunion
