Washington City, August 24, 189[[9?]]

Dear Sir:-
The Executive Committee of the Admiral Dewey Reception Committee takes pleasure in announcing that the recommendation of its Committee on Medals has been approved, and that a Commemorative Medal of great beauty and historic interest will be struck from metal obtained from a bronze torpedo captured by Admiral Dewey in the battle of Manila Bay, May 1, 1898. 
As the quantity of metal available is limited, only a comparatively small number of medals can be furnished, and therefore all members of the Committee are asked to send immediately to Hon. Simon Wolf, Chairman of th[[e]] Committee on Medals and Badges, a request for a medal. 
The request should be accompanied by a check for one dollar, the price fixed by the Committee to cover the cost of production. 
Members of the committees desiring more than one medal will please state in their request the additional number desired and enclose a check for the proper amount of money for the same, as after supplying single medals to each committeeman any surplus will be disposed of to the first applicants. 
The right is reserved to limit the number of medals to be furnished to any one person. All orders must be in the hands of Chairman Wolf on or before September 10, 1899. 
Yours very respectfully, 
[[signature]]WV Cox[[/signature]]
