I feel "sure, that it was a very wise move on your part, mak- ing arrangements to supply Canadian manufactured tobacco for the Can- adian troops. The fact that 1 -he Central organiza- tion of the Over -Seas Club has ad- ministered this large sllln of money without dcdt.osing anything whatever for expenses, from the generous sub - seriatim .S of residents oven eas, is, I ant s.tre, one of the contributory causes to the great success of the Over -Sera's Club 'tobacco Fund.
