The Governor of Texas AitBtln. Tex.
Ixnidon Nov. 2. 1914. Would you
be good enough to Interest yourself
in the critical situation which exists
among the people in Belgium to the
extent of either through official
agencies or through the creation of
some committee for the purpose to
collect foodstuffs or money within
your State on behalf of these people
such foodstuffs to consist of cereals
bacon or ham.
It would be a matter of great grati-
fication If the people of your State
could furnish one or more shiploads
of foodstuffs to be known as the
Texas ships. If you could see your
way to take In hand this beneficient
work we will use every Influence we
can bring to bear to have banded over
to you all the funds subscribed within
your State for Belgian relief that they
may be translated entirely Into food-
stuffs. We can arrange for the recep-
tion of such foodstuffs on the Atlantic
seaboard and Its transportation and
distribution In Belgium.
