December 26th, 1930.

My dear Miss Davis:

I rejoice with you in the success of the Women's Emergency Aid Committee. To have achieved victory - and such a marvelous victory - in going over our goal, I know is as great a satisfaction to you as it is me. I am sure it makes our hard weeks of effort seem very worth while. It was splendid to reach the $500,000 mark and then go up to $600,470.00 with prospects of even more money which will probably come in later!

From the bottom of my heart I thank you for all the wonderful work you did. It takes courage and perserverance, I well know, to meet and conquer all the difficulties of raising money; and to come through with such splendid quotas for each team is a real achievement.

It has been a great pleasure and inspiration to be associated with you in this undertaking and I am proud and happy to have been identified with you in this work for the Salvation Army. I hope we shall all look back upon it as one of the high points in the year 1930--at least I shall - and I shall think of you often.

With many thanks again, and the heartiest of congratulation and wishes for your happiness in the New Year,

Sincerely,
