To the Trustees of the Wallblake House Trust and to all who know and care for Anguilla and its history: The project for restoring Wallblake House will restore and preserve one of Anguilla's historic houses. It deserves the support of all of us who live on Anguilla and all who care for architecture, history and the memory of the past.

I commend all those volunteers working so hard and selflessly in this splendid effort. I wish them every success and I recommend this charity to all who wish to help preserve this splendid house for future generations. Your generosity today will be repaid for many years to come. It earns the gratitude of all those who will visit this historic home. This project is important to Anguilla; the Wallblake House Trust has my full support and deserves the widest support from all.
