               Leathers family Letter of Appreciation

We want in this way to express our deepest appreciation to our dear friends 
and the good people, generally of Bronte and elsewhere for your deep interest 
and kind sympathy for us and the anxious concern you expressed for our son, 
Carroll, when the news came of his being seriously injured, on duty at Camp 
Ellis where he is stationed.  People could do no more than you did for us.
  
We appreciate more than we can express, all the kindly interest you manifested 
for him and us.  Such friends are life's greatest treasure, after all.  In 
these awful days of war we do not know what will befall us - we are all in a 
common situation together.  If such tragedy must come to you, we will have for 
you the deepest sympathy.  

May God bless you, everyone and give us the victory in this war.

Mr. and Mrs. John Leathers and son, Carroll
