 Will you please allow me to express
 through your paper the thanks and
 gratitude of myself and a bunch of oth-
 ei marines, to every contributor to the

 Leaving our camp for the port of

 monly known as war angels, who gave
 us smiles, sandwiches, coffee and cig-
 arettes in addition to the woolen sweat CTS, Helmets socks and wrist1ets, which
 were issued to us before enrtaining Many were the expressions of thanks, but cnly a few of the articles had tha
 name of the donor tucked away, other
 wise there would be many letters go- ing 10 them. On the transport com Ing over a Y. M. c. A. secretary gave us stationery and books to read, as we'll as such athletic goods a 8 we could use es soon as We were settled in our temporary camp Another Y. NJ c. \. secretary was on the spot to give us the news and stationery and help in any other way he could.
 The Red Cross and Y. M c. A. are doing an invaluable service in keeping up the spirit of the men and winning the war. The sweet and tender service of the war angels is raising our women to high position in the opinion of the men, and if there lives a man in the uniform who is so low as to offer an in- suit ir any way to one of these war Iangeis he would get some pretty rough
 trea tment by the rest of the men. All hail to our women aid God-bless them lis the prayer of us all. Please send my papers to address below and oblige. yours truly.
