Mr.. j. A. Meserole,
Mineral Point, Wisconsin.
Dear Mr.. Meserole:-
| want to write you in regard to a
matter we spoke of when you were here
in regard to practical way in which
the boys from your comfy can be ben
Gifted by contribution from the folks
at home.
BY army regulations each battery is
permitted to have battery fund which
can be used for the enlisted men of the
battery only. This fund is strictly sup
ervised and frequently audited by Off
GERS of the regiment and brigade. Only
the battery as whole can benefit by
expenditures from this fund.
We have installed pool table and
have large room which we want to de-
vote to everything possible for the COM
fort and enjoyment of the boys. Don't
you think that you could raise sub
scription to our battery fund which will
be zealously utilized in the above regard.
Other batteries have received gener-
Gus contributions and / believe that the
fine bunch of boys your county has en-
listed signifies that your people will be
anxious to do their bit' in whatever
way possible.
Yours in the common cause,
HAROLD l.. MEYER,

In regard to the above letter, the
members of the board wish to inform
the people in the county there is no
better fund to give. to as it will go a
long way for the comforts of our boys.
We intend to raise county fund and
present it to them as other counties
have done. We hope everybody that
can will give something. Leave it with
any bank in the county or send it to j.
