1. A cartridge comprising:
a memory member configured to store information, the memory member including (i) a first surface including an electrical contact, (ii) a second surface on a side opposite to the first surface, and (iii) a lateral surface extending in a direction crossing the first surface and the second surface; and
a supporting body including a memory mounting portion, the memory mounting portion including (i) a first opposing surface opposing the second surface and (ii) a wall extending in a direction crossing the first opposing surface,
wherein the memory member is mounted on the memory mounting portion with adhesive between the second surface and the first opposing surface and the adhesive contacts the lateral surface, and
wherein the wall includes (i) a first portion, (ii) a second portion connected to the first portion, (iii) a third portion connected to the second portion and opposing the first portion, and (iv) a fourth portion connected to the first portion and the third portion and opposing the second portion, wherein:
an entirety of the first portion, the second portion, the third portion, and the fourth portion are higher than the first surface of the memory member in a height direction, which is a direction perpendicular to the first opposing surface,
wherein as viewed in the height direction, the memory member is disposed between the first portion and the third portion, and is disposed between the second portion and the fourth portion,
wherein the memory mounting portion includes a second opposing portion extending in a direction crossing the first opposing surface, the second opposing portion being configured to position the memory member,
wherein the memory member is mounted on the memory mounting portion with the adhesive between the lateral surface and the second opposing portion, the adhesive contacting the lateral surface and the second opposing portion, and
wherein in the height direction, a distance between a top end of the second opposing portion and a top end of the wall is greater than a distance between the top end of the second opposing portion and the first opposing surface.
