My dear students:
The attached money in the amount of $6.00 is a contribution in appreciation for the sacrifice that you brave and daring young people made for us. It was collected with the intention of bringing you a lunch box while you were being punished for freedom's sake; but upon your visit there, I found out that you had more than you could eat already! A list of the contributors is enclosed.
Thanks again for this gallant gesture, and we're certain that with a spirit like yours, freedom is just around the corner!
God bless each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
[Signature] J.D. Cooper
