Dear Members:

I enjoyed hearing from you again and would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your gift. Your letters bring back many memories and above all it is interesting to learn what is going on at Bryant now.

At the present time I am stationed at Ellis Island, New York working in the pay office. I am very fortunate to be so near New York city because of the many places a service man can go. For night life and entertainment it can’t be beat.

Just a few weeks ago I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with a group of Bryant Alumni who had a reunion down here.

Thanking you again for your consideration I remain.

Sincerely yours
Maurice Fitzgerald

Dear Members:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the Christmas gift I received and also for your thoughtfulness in the past. I have enjoyed hearing from you and especially greatful [sic] for being able to read the Bryant Alumni Bulletin.

I have been in the Coast Guard about eight months and for the past six months I have been working in the pay office at Ellis Island, New York. My work is interesting and has proved to be an additional education in the accounting field.

Thanking you again I’ll close hoping to hear from you again in the near future.

Yours truly
Maurice Fitzgerald
