The following letter was addressed to former Governor Whitman of New York state by Cardinal Gibbons: “Honorable and Dear Sir —I have been asked by the local Commander of the Salvation Army to address a word to you as National Chairman of the Campaign about to be launched In behalf of the above named organization. This I am happy to do, and for the reason that along with my fellow American citizens I rejoice in the splendid service which the Salvation Army rendered our soldier and sailor boys during the war. Every returning trooper is a willing witness to the efficient and generous work of the Salvation Army both at the front and In the camps at home. I am also the more happy to commend this organization because It Is free from sectarian bias. The man in need of help is the object of their effort, with never a question of his creed or color. “I trust, therefore, your efforts to raise $13,000,000 for the Salvation Army will meet with a hearty response from our generous public. Faithfully yours, “J. CARD. GIBBONS.”
