I am more than pleased and happy to hear of the liberal response made by all of you, which helped to make this Bond drive a success and pushed Transylvania over the top. While I know the campaign has not come to its end, I also know that all of you have entered into the spirit of it and have invested in what is the safest and soundest invest ment in the world. For all of this, I thank you.

Our boys in the Armed Forces are doing their share. If all of us at home do ours, we can be sure that the time for peace is not too far distant. With very best wishes, I am Sincerely yours, harry H.
