And all this at a time when the nation and its people were caring but little for you all and the struggles you were making.
I will be pleased indeed if you will kindly inscribe your name in one of the books you will send me.
Sincerely Yours, C.B.DOUGHERTY, Brig.

Mrs.John W.Summerhayes, North Shore Hill, Nantucket, Mass.
My Dear Mrs.Summerhayes: Were I to say that I enjoyed "Vanished Arizona, "I should very inadequately express my feelings about it, because there is so much to arouse emotions deeper than what we call "enjoyment;" it stirs the sympathies and excites our admiration for your courage and your fortitude.

In a word, the story, honest and unaffected, yet vivid, has in it that touch of nature which makes kin of us all.
How actual knowledge and experience broadens our minds! Your appreciation of, and charity for, the weaknesses of those living a lonely life of deprivation on the frontier, impressed me very much.
I wish too, that what you say about the canteen could be published in every newspaper in America.
Very sincerely yours, M.F.WESTOVER, Secretary Gen'l Electric Co.
THE MILITARY SERVICE INSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
