I am told that things are not quite hopeless; something may be recovered out of the wreck some day.

But it will be such a long time, and meanwhile people are suffering so.

And here am I left in comfort--more than comfort.

It isn't right; I couldn't rest till I did something.

I am glad to say that I have been able to help a little here and there, but only the kind of people whom it's easy to help.
