Many Berrets "Mrs. Coke and myself in saying. farewell to the people of Plymouth want to express our great op- preciation of the kindness which has been shown us during our eight years in the city. We are. thankful for the opportunities. which have been given us of enter- ing into the civic and social life.
We leave Plymouth with many regrets, but we shall carry with us to America many happy memories of our stay."
Dr. Cooke said he felt any fare- well message to Plymouth should come from his wife as well as him- self. "We came here together and worked here together” he said.
"My elder son, who has been engaged in literary research work in the British Museum, is return- ing to America with us, and will take up literary and educational work, but my younger son is stay- "Ing with the European office of an American business firm in London. "We shall be staying In London for about a week and then'we shall go straight to Virginia, where we have relatives living at Norfolk and Richmond.
