Appreciate Donations
Mrs. A. Burbonnais has received the following letter from
Mrs. N. Buckner of Asheville, General Secretary of the Baracca-Philathea Union:
“I received your box and distributed the contents to several
wards. We gave a bottle of grape juice to ward I-1, where the contagious cases
are kept, and where the boys are never allowed out of the ward and never get to
town. The nurse wanted the jar of jam, too, so as she had a boy who had a
birthday yesterday. Of course, we gave her the jam. Her name is Miss Cusack,
Ward I No. 1, Oteen, N.C., and I believe she is one of the most unselfish
nurses I have ever known. She never lets us pass that ward without asking for
something for her boys. We took the cake to another ward and put the other jars
in Ward I-8 and J. The magazines we took to the “Y” building. Thus you see we
reached a large number of boys in this way.
"If you could see these boys eat cookies and candies I am
sure it would not be necessary for me to tell you that they enjoy them and that
your box gave pleasure. Any time that you feel like sending me another box I
will certainly be glad to have it, either of things to eat or flowers.
"In the name of our soldiers, I sincerely thank you for your
help and cooperation."
