 Devoted Ladies:-
 Although this letter dates of nearly month after my enlistment in the service of our commonly beloved country, the gratitude which I owe and sincerely feel towards your noble organization has not lost in it's orig inal profoundness; far otherwise. for every day gives us a new occasion to rightfully understand and appreciate the enormous good the Red Cross workers are continually bringing us in our daily trials.
 have found the sweater I received to be of the greatest comfort possible. l may say also that it has been the means of saving me, like others, of many bad colds
 l might cite one occasion in which we were caught at work in a cold rain for about five hours with only our hats as an umbrella. Naturally we were drenched to the bones. Having to stand for about an hour after work many like I were shivering. After reaching our barracks I immediately changed my uniform and wore my sweater for the rest of the day, which claim was the only cause of saving me from being like most of the boys were, that is. with a bad cold.
 l believe if most of our sisters knew the amount of good the Red Cross dc they would sacrifice little of their spare time to such a noble cause (that is, the ones who do not stop to con- slider what the work isl. To all other dear workers of your noble chapter ] wish to extend my sincerely heartfelt thanks and beg to remain in the future Uncle Sams and yours for victory. PRIVATE ODTLLA N. ARPIN.
