DeS MONIES, iowa.
Dear Friends:
Have you boy, a husband, a
brother or sweetheart, or a
friend, in the Army? If so, you
will be interested in this letter.
Did you ever think about who
looks after your boy when he is
sick and in case he should die
while in the Army? The Young
Mems Christian Association looks
after his amusements and his
morals. The Red Cross looks
after his health. But when he is
on the sick bed, the Chaplain is
the man who is by his side, and
IN case your boy is called away
from home, to enter the valley of
the shadow of death, the Chaplain
is the man who holds his hand,
takes his last message, and whis-
pers the word of hope into his
ear. Wouldn't you like to be there
with your boy at that hour to buy
a few flowers, little fruit, or
other comforts he may crave? 1
know you would, but this is i'm
possible, and so he turns to the
chaplain and talks to him as he
would like to talk to you.
Each chaplain has 3,7OO of
somebody's boys to work with. to
comfort, to pray for. He would
like to buy flowers and fruit for
all when they are sick or wound
ed, but cannot. He does not have
The money. To provide for such
needs, Colonel Bennett has sug-
gested raising a fund among the
friends and relatives of the boys,
TO be known as the Chaplain's
Fund, so | come to you and ask
you to send the money you would
be glad to spend for his comforts
II you were there, thus enabling
the Chaplain to do for him the
little things you would so love
to do.
have 3,7O0 Iowa boys, brave
hearted fellows. Several of them
are sick now and / need money
for them every day. l also need
money for folding Chapel Or
gan, some song books, and one
hundred volumes of good litera-
ture. Under the present condi-
tions the Chaplain is conducting
service with no equipment what
ever, not even song book. Will
you help that they may have these
and the other things mentioned {?
Ii so, fill out a card and send it
with your money to Chaplain w.
y. Robb, Third Iowa Infantry.
Iowa State Fair Ground Camp,
Des Moines, Iowa, who will re-
celpt you for your donation and
use it for the comforts of the
soldiers.
Hoping you will remember us
IN your prayers and gifts and that
we may have the pleasure of a
personal word from you,
l am sincerely,
w. r. ROBB, Chaplain.
The need is urgent. To be of
service, donations should be
raised and sent at once. Don't
let us go to France unprepared.
