COPY OF SENATOR FLETCHER'S
TELEGRAM TO A. G. GUNNER

A. G. Gunner, Chairman,
Duval County War Savings Commit
tee, Jacksonville, Fla:
Every loyal American will respond
to the call of his country and do his
full duty whenever and wherever the
opportunity presents itself. A liberal
purchase of war savings stamps by
every man, woman and child is one of
the best evidences of patriotism and
a desire to render substantial assist
ance in bringing this terrible war to
an early and successful conclusion.
Such investment will bring good cheer
and final victory to the brave boys of
our army and navy. It is a foregone
conclusion that the patriotic citizens
of Florida will respond cheerfully and
literally in this campaign the same as
they have in the past and will at all
future times.
(Signedl DUNCAN U. FLETCHER.
