Camp History
Name:Bloemfontein RC
Date departure:10/7/1902
Reason departure:dismissed because no longer needed
Notes:8/7/1902: Pern, SMO to SRC Bloemfontein: recommending she be given her permit to leave RC service as soon as possible.
10/7/1902: Brackenbury, SRC to CSRC: Agrees she should go as she and Pern don't hit it off at all. From what I have seen I don't think the fault lies entirely on the side of Sister C.
