Dear Russell—For some time now you have been giving yourself to the stern duties of military life, and indeed have seen actual service and are thereby fitted for whatever service you may be called upon' to render in the further defense of your country and in the fight for victory. Your duty will cause you to travel, and while it is educational and full of new experiences, it does cause you to break for awhile the ties that bind you to home, and to the home neighborhood. However, we believe you are of the stuff it takes, and so to -night while you are home for a short time, we take this opportunity of expressing to you our admiration of your pluck, cour- age and readiness to serve. While you are away your thoughts will turn to this hone and friends, and we shall remember you, and pray that you may return safely in the not too distant future. As a remind- er of us all and as a symbol of our earnest thoughts of you, we ask you to accept this gift tonight."
