 Sir Stanley Maude. in charge of the MesopotamiAn E6peditionaEy Force, writes: Though no doubt you receive from time to tme individual acknowledgements from her for the bountiful supply of war gifts which are so kindly sent out by your organ ization feel that should like to write on behalf of the troops in Meso- potamia to say how much we all ap- preciate these gifts, not only because they arc useful and meet our require ments 50 fully. but because we realize the immense amount of labor, time, and money which is necessarily en- tailed in order to enable such good results to be achieved. I would there fore ask you to convey to all the members of your organisation our most grateful thanks for all that you have done and are still doing on our behalf"

 A junior of1cer named Meus1lier writes from . base hospital: My commanding oficer begs me to thank you, in his name and in the name of the officers and soldiers of the Am- bulance, for the packages we have received from the ladies of your com- mittee. You cannot realize how glad our wounded are when they open those things that como from 50 far away. What you send seems to them more valuable than the same thing bought in France because 1t comes from America and they all would like to be able to thank the generous send- CTS for their kindness. Many have asked me if they could get as sou venir, photographs from the ladies who have prepared and sent those packages. Perhaps it Is too much to ask you, but I know they would be very pleased if you could do so. Let me tell you in closing, dear Madame. that we hope to have some day the opportunity to show the United States that France does not forget what her great sister America has done for her during this war;"
 An ofiicer at the Hospice de sexanne has written the following letter Of thanks to our committee. Attention is called to the amusing postscript. The administrative committee of Hospice de Sexanne was informed at it's meeting on May IS that your com mittee had had the generosity to send the hospital. through the good ofIlces of the American Relief Clearing House, case of dressings. The com- mission has given me the pleasant mission of sending you it's warmest thanks for the generous gift made to our dear wounded soldiers. This proof of the affection and the stability of our friends in America touches us and moves us profoundly.
 Yours very truly,
 E. MAROT.
