Sharp, in part: “This will introduce to you Miss Mabel T. Boardman, of Washington. Miss Boardman really founded the Red Cross, and brought it to its efficient organization for peace purpose down to the beginning of our participation in this war. She is a member of the National Executive Committee of the Red Cross, and she is also the head of the Washington Chapter, which on the whole is the most thorough and successful Chapter in the country…She visits France as a Red Cross observer, to bring home to us information as to how we can improve, if possible, the Red Cross functions abroad. I need not comment on Miss Boardman’s great ability, high character and charming personality, because they go without saying.” In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
