Dear Mrs. Seligmann:

The officers and men of the United States Fleet will be guests of the City of New York from April 29 to May 17. Mayor La Guardia has appointed a committee to arrange an official program for their entertainment. A tentative program for the entertainment of 40,000 men is being planned and a budget of $40,000., to be raised by voluntary contributions, has been proposed to meet the necessary expenses.

May I ask you at this time for a personal contribution toward this fund? Any amount, large or small, will be gratefully received. A prompt response will be appreciated so that the committee may proceed with definite plans.

Please make checks payable to Samuel A. Welldon, Treasurer, 2 Wall Street, New York, N. Y.

Sincerely yours,
Winthrop W. Aldrich
Winthrop W. Aldrich,
Chairman.
