The first picture is a note from the gift giver. It roughly translates to:
Mr. Thomas,
Please enjoy.
From the Republic of China.
Li Sin Textile (?) Company
The second is the gift itself, a poem.
Haha, you've just made my day; I posted this 6 years ago. Thank you very much.
My great-grandfather, George Thomas, was an industrial chemist who worked in the textile industry and travelled all over; 1921-1925 he was in China helping set up factories, I assume, bleaching fabric.
Before he left the workers were supposed to have given him a two-piece silver plaque and these two pictures.
