NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
TREASURY DEPARTMENT
WASHINGTON
December 2, 13X3.
Mr. Colin H. Livingstone,
President, National Council, B. S. A.,
American national Bank: Bldg.,
Washington, D. C.
Ky dear Mr. Livingstone:
During the past eighteen months the Boy Scouts of
Areerica have rendered a splendid service to the nation by their
untiring and effective efforts to aid the G-overnment in its war-
winning program, and no less by their spirit of patriotic devotion
which they have manifested throughout the war.
I take this opportunity to ask you to convey to the mem-
bers of your great organization our hearty appreciation and grati-
tude for the remarkable contribution made by them to the successful
prosecution of the four Liberty Loan campaigns and their generous co-
operation with the War Savings Campaign.
The war is won, but the need for money is as great, if not
greater than ever at this moment. The Treasury Department requests that
the Boy Scours continue their campaign promoting the sale of War Saving
Stamps during the remaining weeks of this year. It is the further de-
sire of the Treasury Department that the Scouts maintain in the future
an attitude of constant-readiness for further service. This I am sure
will be the case. I would be glad, toward this end, however, if you would
sand them a copy of this letter together with a letter of instruction from
your own organization.
With cordial wishes for the success of your boys in this
final effort for 1918, I am.
Very truly yo
