TO THE BUSINESS WOMEN'S
SERVICE LEAGUE OF WAUSAU

The Business Women's Service
League of Wausau has received two
letters of appreciation recently, one
being from the Comite American pour
les Regions Deyastees de la France,
and reads as follows:
Paris, July 80, 1918.
We have been notified by our New
York office of your generous gift of
clothing and although we know that
they have acknowledged it, we cannot
resist thanking you from this end of
the work as WELL ,& la
If you could see the restitution of
the refugees, who come to us for help,
you would know the joy which fills us
on the receipt of these articles. 1t
is impossible to realize in America the
sufferings of these victims of the war.
Their gratitude is most touching and
7 wish you who have given your time
and money could have the pleasure of
seeing the refugees when they receive
these things.
With sincrest thanks"

lows:

to send your supplies to the refugees

group of workers send to our pack
ing rooms so that when l write I
have before me a mental picture of the
splendid work that has been done. Tt
is good to have this personal touch.
with the contributors and I assure YOU
that it is in this way, more than any
other, that we here at headquarters
draw our inspiration to go on with
the work from day to day. One of
the joys of working with a small or
ganization, is that we send to France
not only the physical supplies of each
group, but the personality, sympathy
and friendship which go into the work,
and our unit over there must feel this
spirit and transmit it to the people.
Please accept my sincerest thanks
for your supplies and for your in
