1t is generally known that money
can buy most everything but there
is one thing money can not buy
and that is our sweaters. The
boys value them more than any.
thing they have and when we ar.
rive home we expect to bring them
back with US to keep forever.
Nothing so helpful could have
been presented 10 US than these;
they are useful at all times. Al.
though the climate is hot in the
day time 1t becomes cool at night
and the sweaters can be worn most
of the time.
Not only do we wish to thank
you ladies for this deed OF kind
ness but we wish to thank you for
the badly needed service rendered
to us while at Camp CornweIl in
mending our WON out clothes.
Many shirts, trousers and blous-
