CAMP CROWDER
MISSOURI

Dear Bryant Service Club,

I was very happy to receive your letter and the list of addresses. It is swell of you to write to us boys and let us know what is going on back at Bryant. Though we are fare away from school, we are happy to hear of the happenings at school.

I am glad to hear that Tau Epsilon still exists as a fraternity. I was afraid that all the members would go into the service. I am going to Radio Operator School, and so far everything is okay. I have about a month or slightly more to go.

I hope that I can come back to Bryant again and see some of the Professors and students. Thanks again for the addresses. I sure will make use of them.

Bryant Service Club;

I received your gift today and I cannot put into words how much I appreciate your gift. The reason I received the gift late was that I was out on a three day hike.

The boys at camp were surprised when I told them who sent the gift. They all agreed that your club was a fine organization.

I have done quite a bit of traveling since leaving Bryant, but I will never forget the days I spent at school.

I hope that the Service Club can continue to help Bryant boys in the Service—
