It is a pleasure to publish the following
letter, which we believe will interest every
member of our organization:
WAR DEPARTMENT
Office of the Assistant to the Secretary.
Washington.
Room 1101, Council of National Defense
Building.
July 22, 1919.
Messrs. Haskins & Sells,
469 Fifth Avenue,
New York City.
Gentlemen:
Colonel Arthur Woods, Assistant to the
Secretary of War, has received your re­quest
for the citation issued to employers
who hold open positions for their men who
entered the service of the Government, and
asks me to let you know that a citation is
being engrossed, and will be received by
you in due course.
He is especially pleased to note that all
your men have got back at salaries
greater than they were receiving when they
entered the Government service. This is
fine patriotism, and a great public service,
and we hope you will understand that the
Government's appreciation of this is more
than perfunctory. It is such firms as Has­kins
& Sells and others like them who
have made at all possible our work of se­curing
employment for all discharged ser­vice
men.
With thanks and congratulations, I am,
Yours very truly,
(Signed) R. L. FOSTER
Colonel, Infantry, U. s. A.
