In recent letter to the Burlington
Free Press from a person interested IN
the Red Cross work in Vermont, the
writer quoted from a letter recently
received from friend who was work
ing in the Boston bureau OF the Red
Cross and says he thinks it will serve
to give credit for the excellent work
of the Burlington branch and give a
reason for at least one Of the require
ments of the Red Cross which may
have seemed unnecessary to some. 1t
would also apply equally as well to
Manchester. Another man and I'M
pack the large boxes which come in
from the different chapters, take an
invoice Of the articles sent, have a
IR. c. nurse inspect them and then
prepare regulation-sized boxes by I'm

are kept busy verifying and checking
up the work done in other cities and
towns. There is great difference IN
the articles sent in. 1t is strange
coincidence that the first box ] worked
on this morning was from Burlington,
VT. The things were beautifully done
and the nurses were wonderfully
pleased with this shipment. The count
was accurate; in fact there wasn't a
single mistake and the things might
have been sent directly to France. A
box from Manchester, VT, was sent
without thorough examination on ac-
count of the quality Of the goods
Then came six or seven boxes from
- full of errors and poor work.
The boxes sent in from -- con-
tanned most painstaking work but the
gauze sponges and bandages had been
folded wrongly and five pins had been
used in the wrappers. Think of over

over. They nearly swamped the
ladies this afternoon. The congresses
/ had to be sterilized and the pins
therefore would rust in and 1t would
he very hard on the nurses and doc
