Dear Captain Popham:-

I have been here but little, but it was
always pleasant to know that I was
returning to community of friends
l am sorry to see real and final part
ings come.
Your work here has been vastly
appreciated. The Red Cross, in my
opinion, as at Rimaucourt, fulfilled
its most exalted destiny as an agent
Of humanity. The influence Of the
Red Cross at this camp has been an
uplift and an inspiration to all OF
us, and you, as its responsible direct
or, should have the keenest pride
and satisfaction in the results you
have obtained X {, ~.

but not q day has passed that has

camp as whole so that its very
tone reflects her strong character
and have always felt that without
her I should not have succeeded in
making "Rimaucourt the cleanest

had the cleanest place in France, and
I acknowledge the predominating in

in securing that end.

The Chamber of Commerce has FOR
