Dear Mr. Graf:
Some few weeks ago the Ma.-

you to solicit contributions for
winterizing Aid Raid Warning

You worked hard, did a very fine
job, and reported to me that you
had collected $431.00, and furn-
iShed us with a list of names of
the contributors. At the last meet-
ing of our War Council, I was
instructed to write to you and to
express the .thanks of our War
Council and the people of Mason
County for your splendid efforts
and for the generous contribu-
tions in money and material. We
realize that there are many peo-
ple in the county Who are contri-
buting their time and labor to
this purpose, and other patriotic
known to us, but to all these
people, we wish to extend our
thanks and the thanks of the peo-
ple of Mason County.
Yours truly,
Charles R. Lewis.
