II. w. CORNELISON RECEIVES LET
TER FROM F. d. ROOSEVELT
OF THE NAVY

When the call for binoculars, field
glasses and telescopes for the navy
was sent out to the people of the Uni
ted States because these very neces-
sary articles could not be bought by
the government at the time, Mr.. Cor
Nelson sent a pair of fne glasses to
the navy department and today he re-
ceived the following letter, thanking
him for his gift:
Mr.. H. W. Cornelison,
1926 West Sixth Street,
Moscow, Idaho.
Dear Sir: Your prompt and pa
triotic response to the navy's call for
binoculars, telescopes, and spy-glasses,
is most appreciated. The glasses will
be very useful in the prosecution of
naval operations until victory is won
At the termination of the war, if
possible, every effort will be made to
return them to you, when it is hoped
that you will feel compensated for any
evidence of wear, by the knowledge
that you have supplied Eyes for the
Navy during very trying period.
On behalf of the navy, I wish to
thank you most heartily.
Very respectfully,
F. D. ROOSEVELT,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy.
