iCAPT. KOHLER GRATEFUL ;
. TO CORDOVA RED CROSS!
—
Ccpt. G. Ft. Koehler, of the 14th In-j |
fantry, with headquarters at Fort Lis-'j
cum, has sent the following expression If
I *
of gratitude to the Cordova Chapter
of the American Red Cross: jg
Upon my return to Cordova from a-1
visit to the bridge and oil tank guards' 1
stationed along the Copper River and fj
Northwestern railroad my attention |
was drawn to the warm, hand-knitted' |
sweaters that you had so kindly sent |
bo each man on this duty, and on be- f
half of these detachments 1 will hasten |
tp extend to you a most hearty thanks. |
t should like to thank each member of |
your organization individually for their |
kindly thought and Tor the time and
energy that must have been expended 1 ^
in the making of these garments.
Not only this, but I was also inform
ed, for the first time, that each man
had received a generous Christmas
box from "some one” in Cordova, 1 do
not know whom. I desire through you
to thunkfully acknowledge the receipt
of these dainty rememberances.
On this trip I heard nothing but the
kindest words of the generous treat
ment accorded my men by the people
of Cordova and along the railroad. At
best, the duty performed by these men
is arduous, but when their visits, when
off duty, are made such a pleasure by
the kind people with whom they come
in contact, the monotony is relieved
and they are kept from temptations.
Again I want to thank you for the
noble work that is being done by your
organization, not only locally, hut
throughout the world for suffering hu
manity. You have my sincerest best
wishes for the greatest success in
your undertaking.
