Dear Mr. Strong:
At the meeting of the Committee on Friday last, a memorandum was presented of certain expenses, amounting to $404.75, incurred during the last campaign by the Publicity Department. This amount represented cigars and cigarettes used in the entertainment of the “Blue Devils”, Pershing’s Men and newspaper reporters at Liberty Land, the luncheon at the Plaza Hotel, etc.; flowers sent to the funeral of Mrs. Mullally; part of the expenses of a trip to Colonel Roosevelt’s home at Oyster Bay by the Liberty Loan Workers, etc.
As this expense is not chargeable against the Government and as the item is a small one, it was decided to divide this sum equally among the members of the Committee, making the amount due from each member $26.98, for which you may send me your check in care of the Guaranty Trust Company, 140 Broadway, New York City.
Very truly yours,
Assistant Secretary.
