Here’s a little gift from the Bryant Service Club to tell you that the students of Bryant think of you and are proud of the part you are taking in our country’s defense. Good Luck to you always.

Please acknowledge receipt of this package so that we may know we have your correct address for any future packages. Mail to Chairman of The Bryant Service Club, care of Bryant College.

Acknowledge receipt of your gift which I presume was mailed for Christmas but went halfway around the world. Had a little trouble making[?] out what it is, but now that I know, I may have use for it very soon.

Thanks a lot and note my new address:

To Bryant Service Club:

In answer to your letter of Jan. 23 in regards to Lt. Lionel J. Cormier I am pleased to advise you that he has received your package and he has requested me to thank you for him as his address has changed from Dover, Del. I would like to mention here that he is now in foreign country and that no packages can be sent to him at present. Only letters and those have to be by air mail. I receive letters from him every week and he is well and still flying a bomber somewhere. I will give you his address on the other side of this page.

1st Lieut. L. J. Cormier

At any time you want any information I will gladly give you all I can in regard to Lionel. Please note that my new address is now

Thanking you again and wishing you success in the good work your club is doing for the Boys in the service.
