are about to be shipped out to the
banks and thence distributed to you
who bought them. In the trunk and
on the table in the picture there are
about 5000, 100000 worth of bonds.
Some of the burden of distribution
was lifted from the shoulders of the
men in the photo in the Fourth Loan.
The bonds were shipped to the banks
in the Cincinnati and Pittsburgh ter
ritories from the branch banks in
those cities. In the previous loans all
were shipped direct from Cleveland.
In this same vault are handled all
the certificates CT indebtedness which
are bought by banks in the interim

which are turned in in payment for

We have been in the lines fight

one of their strong points on
the Hindenburg line. Believe
me we put them on the run and
are yet after them miles beyond
the line. We went thru heavy
shell fire, gas smoke and machine
gun fire etc, to get them out of
their strong deep dugouts which
they thought could never be
broken. Our boys did the best
and bravest fighting of the war.
We got them though. We were
some tired when our relief came
and took up the chase. The
Australians are some fighters
too. l think we will soon get
them. / put my machine gun
in action, it did fine work So
you see / feel lucky to have been
over the top three times and
uphurt. now think we will
get a good rest. Our officers all
compiimented US on our good
work. We are resting now and
the other boys are gone on after
them. So don't worry shout
