7 Base Hospital 23 & 36 Aug 6th 1918 - To: Capt. W. Gillespie From . H. O. Tanner Subj. Greenhouse at Contrexeville It contains with the sunken bed alongside of the green house also heated about 52 metres of plantable beds. The key was not at hand - but it seemed in good condition - as far as I could see only one or two panes of broken glass. The grates for furnace were there, the smoke pipe for furnace was not in good condition, & would likely have to be replaced Capt Thompson thinks that 100 or 120 frames would put green house in condition. Certainly the repairs are small. It will probably take 2 or 3 tons of coal per month. A Sergent now in command of the gardens & who has had experience in a hot house - and believes himself capable of managing it would be in charge He seems intelligent & enthusiastic.
