Sgt. Edmund J. Mastrovito
Hq. Co. R. R. C.
Ft. Devens, Mass.

March 25, 1943

Bryant Service Club
Bryant College
Providence, R. I.

Dear Fellow Members:

I wish to thank you for both the cigarettes and bulletin that I recently received.

It is a little difficult to write you as I know most of the Service Club members are of a younger generation than I. However it is good to hear of such old timers as Major Henry J. Lee. I remember very well when he taught us the finer points of accounting.

As you probably know I am assigned to the Classification and Assignment Section here at Ft. Devens. One of my jobs is to classify the new recruit, using his educational and occupational background as a basis. You can readily see that I have met many and classified many Bryant College students and graduates. I have to admit though that I knew very few of them personally. However I am sure there shall be more in the future and if they wish to contact me when they arrive at the Fort, I shall try to make their introduction into the Army a little more pleasant.

Sincerely yours,

Edmund J. Mastrovito
