Excerpt from Appeal of the Managers of St. Luke's Hospital, to the Embers of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the City of New York The Managers of St. Luke's Hospital have had a corporate existence since May lst, 1850, but now, for the first time, they formally present the Institution 'to the public. They have been engaged in prepara tory measures for the important tr ust committed to them, chiefly in obtaining a grant of land, of which they were desirous of being 111 possession before mak ing any general appeal for funds. This is now suffici ently secured. Through the instrumentality of mr.w. H. Harison, Comptroller of Trinity Church, twenty four lots of ground, on the Fifth Avenue, between 54th and 55th streets, formerly conveyed by the corporation of the city, to the corporation of St. George the Mar tyr, for a consideration on the part of Trinity Church, have been transferred to St. Luke's Hospital. In effect ing this, considerable. Delay has been unavoidable, but as it has resulted in so valuable an acquisition, the managers proceed with the greater confidence, in having thus much of their work accomplished. Of the good will of their bretheren fo1 its successful prosecution they do not allow themselves to doubt.
