From Salonica, Greece, a soldier writes:

“I beg to acknowledge with grateful thanks safe receipt of your letter together with vest-pocket edition of Science and Health, Quarterly and Song Book, all of which I am glad to have.”

A former theological student in 71st Field Artillery, U. S. A., writes:

“I also wish to attempt to express my appreciation for your kindness in sending the longed-for book, but cannot find words to tell you how thankful I feel.”

Writing from Egypt a soldier says:

“I was most grateful last night to receive two copies of the vest-pocket edition of Science and Health and two Quarterlies.

A private with the American Expeditionary Forces in France writes:

“I received some few weeks past, the welcome textbook, which has since been a constant and most helpful companion.
