My dear Mr. Bryan:
I am happy to have a chance to say this word of gratitude
for the newspapers which you a.xd your associates are so gener
ously providii g to be issued in our great training camps.

I understand that this is to be in a very special sense
a soldiers’ newspaper, and that it will no doubt be devoted in
substantial part to matters of local and peculiar interest in tho
camps in which they appear, but that they will also have a
general influence in interpreting to the soldiers the hope and
enthusiasm of the nation behind them, and interpreting to the
nation the fine determination and spirit of our men in arms. ;
It is important that there should be no loss of touch
between the nation and its soldiers, and the series of papers so
generously provided will be helpful in maintaining the spirit and
understanding of both. ■
Cordially yours,
Mr. John Stewart Bryan,
Richmond, Virginia.
