Il want to send you my thanks and
compliments for your present of to-
oacco. 1t is very nice to get and we
need tobacco always. but the best
thing about such gifts is that they
prove to US that we are not forgotten
and that we still have friends and
packers when the good day comes
and we start back home. I never had
any fear that I am forgotten by my
friends and neighbors. but some OF
the boys have not been so confident,
NOW they feel as we'll as do myself
and all thanks to this gift OF tobacco
from THE Sun. SO thanking you
and all the American people who had
hand In the fund, l am, your faith
