Dr. Copp, - (4)

At present we have fifty six (56) Members, (including ten (10) from St. John, N.B.) at the Camphill [Camp Hill] Hospital, and fifty eight (58) at fourteen (14) other Hospitals. Those remaining have been called back to Office Work, are injured or otherwise unable to assist.

This is a very lengthy report and perhaps not clear, please accept it as an effort to explain our messages and to inform you of the courage and endurance of our Division.

I trust I have not caused you too much inconvenience and thank you very much for your kind offer. One telegram only has been received from you and that ( several days after the date of sending.

We are confident of your hearty co-operation in every respect and assure you that we will do all within our power to uphold the reputation of the Order of St. John.

Sincerely,
[signature] Clara H. MacIntosh
Lady Divisional Sup. [handwritten addition "Hx. Cen. Nursing Div. No. 17"]
St. John Ambulance Brigade.
