Henry Bloom Noble wrote a letter on 25th January 1886 saying that his wife, Rebecca, would present the site and that he would pay for building a hospital in Douglas (now the Manx Museum building in Kingswood Grove). Their offer was announced and accepted on 27th January. Unfortunately, Rebecca didn't live to see the completion and opening of the hospital in 1888. Our story in Manx is another by Simon J Wood. He lives in Lincolnshire and his story about a famous author is set in Boston - but in this case, Boston, Massachusetts. We celebrate the birth of Robert Burns on 25th January 1759 lesh nyn giaull - DOUGIE MacLEAN - Rattlin', roarin' Willie SHEENA WELLINGTON - There was a lad PAOLO NUTINI - For a' that KATE REID - The banks o' Cree BRIAN MILLER - O, Tibbie, I hae seen the day EMILY SMITH & JAMIE MacCLENNAN - Adoon winding Nith DICK GAUGHAN - Now westlin' winds IMAR - L'air Mignonne
