Dear Chet:

Thank you for your Christmas: ‘remembrance, together
with the information yow letter contained. regarding dese
basic training for a medical soldier.

< am tnpyy thet the Teninest of Mnletie Injuries
has proved of some benefit to you. I am sure with the train-
ing you get, together with the fine experience that you had
in athletics, added to the incidental training we gave you,
will make you a much more versatile and efficient assistant
to the American soldier.

These are tough times, Chet, but out of it will
come a finer civilization, we hope. And I am very sure that
it will because it will set at rest the agitations of mon
who did not believe in their own word or the word of others.

world, and if America doeg there will be a great responsibility
placed upon her and her citizens.
