Dear Sir:-Last night, the boys Of
Camp Cody, regardless Of religious
faith. gathered to enjoy a reception
made possible only thru your. co-opera-
tion and assistance.
have been requested to write, and
thru you, thank the people Of Den
yer, for their prompt and ready re-
sponse to the appeal made by. Mt.
David L. Slater. the Field Represen-
tative of the Jewish Welfare Board.
Permit me to convey to your people.
the sincere appreciation Of each and
every boy in Camp; you have made
THEM very happy and they are truly
grateful. The feelings engendered
and the sentiments expressed would
he absolutely convincing that their ef-
forts were not in vain. ma
Evidences like these make Army life
worth while, and Its a great inspira-
tion, especially to the Jewish boys in
the service, to know and feel that the
Jews thruout the Nation, are stand
ing by and doing their bit in this
.sxratest crisis of the Worlds history.
Tell your people, my dear Rabbi.
that such work is ne'er forgotten and
long after this war is over, the boys
will recall Denver's whole hearted de-
-votion to the cause. 1t will tend to
e-unite the Jews of the country. and
the soldier boys will be the mission
aries OF a greater and more potent
Judaism.
Very Respectfully,
