And such was the monster cake, with its warlike emblems, which attracted so much attention at the Fair, and added considerably to the receipts for the Sanitary Commission. It was sent to me expressly for this Fair, by my friend Wilson, and, while it was in itself a generous gift, it was doubly so as coming from an English manufacturer who had suffered by the war. The second great Simnel cake which stood beside it in the Fair was sent to me personally by Mr. Wilson; but with his permission I took much pleasure in contributing it, with his own offering, for the benefit of our suffering soldiers.

白话
义卖会上那个引人注目、为卫生委员会增加不少收入的巨型蛋糕,正是这样一件带战争标志的庞然大物。它是我的朋友威尔逊特意为这次义卖会寄给我的。这本身就是一份慷慨礼物,而它来自一位因战争受损的英国制造商,就更显双倍慷慨。义卖会上摆在它旁边的第二个大西姆内尔蛋糕,是威尔逊先生个人送给我的;但经他同意,我很乐意把它连同他本人的捐赠一起,献给受苦的士兵。
