 FROM SOLDIER BOYS
Men in 1O2d Infantry Appreciate
 Gifts Of Tobacco

Letters from New Britain sold CTS in France thanking the people of New Britain for their remembrances Of i tobacco continue to arrive at the mayors office and in today's mail were the following interesting notes. Irving J. Dawson, formerly a ser geant with Company F., now in France with the Headquarters company of the 102d Infantry, writes as follows:
 France, January 6, 1918.
 "In behalf of the New Britain men now with the headquarters company and the Machine Gun company, 102d Infantry, serving Uncle Sam in France I wish to thank you and the people of New Britai for their generous gifts of cigarettes and smoking tobacco which reached me through Capt. A. H. Gris- wold, former commander of Co. I. Gifts of this kind are greatly appre- ciated over here where American to- bacco is scarce and a luxury, and when it comes directly from home it also seems to bring with it good cheer and a feeling that the people back there are doing what they can to add to the comfort of their men in France.
 The mon are in good spirits and are anxious for clash with the ene- my. You may be assured that when we are called into action that this spirit will never die and each and every man will give good account of himself even though he may never get home to tell about it. We ali know what we are up against and are willing to take the chances. Again, in behalf of the New Brit ain men stationed here, I want to thank you and the people of New Britain and with best wishes for q very happy New Year l am, IRVING J. DAWSON" Joseph Kenney and Philip Nelson both privates in Company E. write as follows:
 France, January 8, 1918. I We wish to thank you, one and all, for the tobacco received from your fund. The boys here are all feeling fine. We can't say much in our jet tors for they are all censored here. We are having bad weather now, but ex- pect that it will improve in couple i Of months.
