The medal is not yet paid for. Though subscriptions are coming in from private schools in Hawaii, California, Maine, Florida and other parts of the country, the fund to build the memorial schools is being kept open so that each child may have the opportunity of contributing his or her mite, no matter how small.
We believe there is not a child in the country but who desires to add expression of admiration and esteem to that felt for the great Marshal. Every cent collected goes to France as our working fund is supported by private contributions and gratuitous service.
At the time of enrollment in this movement, we received a letter from Mr. Clark of the Lawrenceville School asking if the Phillips Academy had enrolled, and we replied that at that time we had not heard from you. We would greatly appreciate a card telling us when we may expect a contribution from your school, as it would, indeed be a pity were not the students of the Phillips Academy represented in this great work.
Thanking you, believe me
Cordially yours,
L.
P. S. Checks may be made payable to the French Restoration Fund, 15 Park Row, New York City, or to Ward E. Pearson, Treasurer.
