Hartwick, E.

Received your second carton of cigs very recently and was quite surprised and glad when I found out who they were from, as it is no more than two weeks since I got the first ones. But I suppose that was due to the fact that the first carton was so slow in arriving and this one so fast. At any rate I want to thank each and every one of you for the cigarettes I have received so far and the splendid work you are doing in helping to keep us fellows supplied in smokes. I hope you will excuse this writing as I am sitting below the shade of a tree writing this on my knee.

Well I must be going as time is getting short. Best wishes and thank you.
