National Red Cross War Fund Chairman Thanks Jasper Co.

Mr. Charles G. Spitler, Rensselaer, Ind. Dear Mr. Spitler: —— At the close of the wonderfully successful campaign for the Red Cross War Fund I intended, in behalf of the war council, to send you and your associates a telegram of thanks and congratulation for your splendidly effective work. On reflection, however, I decided in view of the nation wide extent of our organization that it would be more economical, and equally satisfactory, to write to you instead of telegraphing. We of the War Council are deeply grateful to you, to your colleagues, to the devoted men and women of local Red Cross Chapters and auxiliaries, and to every element and individual in your community who aided by service and contribution. There is no method by which we can reach the legion of individuals, organizations, churches, newspapers, societies, banks, companies and firms whose united effort has provided this great fund for humanity, and if through your press and by other means you can make public expression of our gratitude we shall deeply appreciate the courtesy. Their joint accomplishment has stirred the pride of every American. I wish to add my personal thanks to you, and through you, to all who contributed to the splendid result. Very sincerely yours, H. P. DAVISON, Chairman Red Cross War Council.
