_The Evening Post_, 9 March 1924:
A GENEROUS GIFT
A very generous gift has been given to the New Zealand Trained Nurses’ Association by Mr. J. Johnston, Matai road, Hataitai. The gift is a cottage standing four acres of land in #Opua Bay, Queen Charlotte Sound, about 14 miles from Picton. This he has handed over to the Nurses' Association for all time, to be used by them as a rest home. The council had therefore decided to make it as comfortable and attractive as possible so that it may prove a joy and benefit to many tired #nurses. It amongst our of the first gifts of this kind given to the nursing women, and all nurses appreciate Mr. Johnston’s kind thought, and hope to spend some happy days in this beautiful sunny spot.
