Chairman 1944 War Fund Campaign

Lawrence, Kansas

My dear Dr. Alien:

This is just to remind you that Kansas was first in
reaching its 1943 War Fund goal in this area and that with your
help we can do as well this year. In fact, if we all work fast
enough we can reach that coveted "first place" in the nation!

One of the points which will help tremendously in reaching
our goal as a state is the regular and prompt reporting of con-
tributions to this office. Will you please follow your instructions
on this to the letter?

Your challenge as War Fund Chairman is one of great
responsibility at any time, but this year we are facing the biggest
fund-raising effort in the history of any single organization. In
other words, this memns a hard steady grind for all of us - So let's
put our shoulder to the wheel and push!

Sincerely yours,

J 0: Baktt.
