Letter of Appreciation.

U. S. S. Powhatan, Nov. 6, 1917. Dear Madam: - I am writing you these few lines to thank you for woolen kit consisting of sweater, wristlets and skull cap and sure am very grateful to you and many others who do us boys these favors. Perhaps as you know, it is very cold on the water this time of thg year and these three articles are the very things we need. I consider myself lucky to be aboard this ship and receive these articles, as besides mak ing us comfortable, it encourages us also to see that outside people take such an interest in us. I will close this letter, again thanking you, and hope the boys on board this ship have the chance to prove they are worth it. Sincerely yours, 0. W. ALBERT, Care P. M. N. Y., and S. S. Powhatan.
