My dear Dr. Allen:

Trinity parish will forever be indebted to A. C. Olson, of 134
N. 13th Street, Philadelphia, for his magnificent handling of our debt
retiring campaign. —

Our goal was $65,000.00. The campaign opened November 29th
and concluded on schedule time, December 8th. We have over 1000 subscrip-
tions for $75,588.00, of which more than $11,000.00 has been given by 283
non-members, with the ultimate result probably amounting to $80,000.00.

Mr. Olson was engaged for this campaign after a most thorough
investigation. He has fulfilled our every expectation. We have found him
to be @ superior man in every respect. He has consulted with us on every
step in the campaign. He has made a most favorable impression on every
member of the Committee. His popularity was further attested by a spon-
taneous enthusiastic rising vote of thanks and appreciation at our Victory
Dinner,

Mr. Olson built an organization of over 300 active and earnest
workers - twice as many as we ever enlisted in any previous parish under-
taking. We will continue this organization and expect to make good use of
it in the future. The publicity of all kinds has been perfect.

Trinity has always had a fine spirit of fellowship. It has
had the friendship and respect of the community. These bonds have been
greatly strengthened by this campaign.

We write this letter in the hope that it may encourage and be
helpful to others,

Senior Warden and
Campaign Chairman

Thomas N. Carruthers,
Rector.
