 Greetings to Postal Clerks.
 Railway postal clerks havee received the following general order letter from w. c. Van Dervoort. superintendent of the Railway Mail Service First Di- vision:
 Boston, Dec. 2s. 1916.
 GREETINGS.
 During the year just closing. and especially during the holiday period, our division, in common with. others, has handled an unprecedented volume of mail, and therefore the demand up- on all of us has been greater than ever before. Notwithstanding this, and the hardships imposed by late running of trains and the performance of extra duty, the spirit of loyalty and devo- tion manifested by all has, if possible, exceeded that of last year, and it was this splendid cooperation that enabled us to excel all former records. I deeply appreciate the united eff l forts of all concerned. and congratu- late you personally and officially for ] the results accomplished. ] May you all have a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
 ! W. c. VAN DERvoORT, l Supt. First Division. Railway Mail Service.
