are made. They have sent their men to fight and now they are
sending them help and succor. Such spirit as this can never f a i l ! "

I appeal to you girls who have not yet given to think this over.
Many of these girls who have given what they could not really spare,
have written that i f the money did not come in fast enough, that i f I
would write them again, they would try to send some more. Don't
let them do i t ! I t is up to you girls not to let three or four hundred
do the work of two thousand. Our ambulance needs $1,800, to buy it
at $1,000 and support it for a year at $800. Now i f 390 girls have
raised nearly a thousand, certainly 1,800 more girls can raise another
thousand. You will never have a chance to do a greater or finer
piece of work. Consider it a privilege to do such a little, when you
think of what your sisters in Belgium and France have done and what
your own fraternity sisters are doing right here and now. I can
never be sufficiently thankful for the lessons these letters have taught
me, for the glimpses they have given me into the wonderful souls of
our girls. I t has brought a new sense of fraternity to me. I am
proud to claim these girls for my sisters and to be allowed to make a
public acknowledgment of it.

Owing to the amount of postage, etc., it was decided not to send
a receipt for each subscription. But a list of subscribers is hereby
appended. As many times the actual money, in coin or bill, was sent
in the letters at great risk of loss. I would suggest that further sub-
scriptions be sent by money order or cheque, because i f the money
were just placed in the letter, without being registered or insured, it
could be lost in transit and we would have no way of tracing it.

Subscriptions can be sent at any time—but please make it soon—
to Mrs. Norman L . McCausland, Jr. (chairman), 517 Angell Street,
Providence, Rhode Island.
