Chairman w. L. l.:
My Dear Madam: Please accept
for yourself and splendid corps of
women workers my congratulations
and appreciation of the magnificent
way in which you have all helped to
make the fifth loan. as well as all
others, truly victory loans" / know
that it will always be a source of
pride to have felt that you were a
part of the great Liberty Loan ma
chinery, upon, which every detail and
plan for war and peace has so abso-
lutely depended and been founded.
You have the satisfaction of knowing
that you were one of those absolute
ly necessary to the successful con-
summation of the triumph of the
cause of humanity and American
ideals. That you share as the fruits
of your labor the joy of the assurance
of an everlasting peace" with the
world. The enormous supply of war
equipment, tho never used, served
the purpose as effectually in that
vastness of the preparations to meet
every phase of the war, brought Ger
many to her knees and the liberty
loan organizations and the bond buy
ers throughout the United States,
have the satisfaction of knowing that
ali this was made effectual through
their never failing, unselish, self
sacrificing patriotism.
Though the "poppies grow between

we have kept the faith with them, the
manned and wounded, and the mill
ions of our American forces who still
guard the rights of nations on the
borders of foreign countries, in hold
ing high the torch of liberty.
1t is hard to find words which would
do justice to my gratitude to each and
every one of the faithful women who
have served with me through five
campaigns. My heart wells over with
thanksgiving when / contemplate the
wonderful accomplishment of the
women of Florida in which / deem il
a great honor and privilege to have
been permitted to share. The work

that of the women of other states
We have been bound together in &
common cause and though / have moi
