TO AMERICAN AUTHORS


Realizing the debt of American letters to the Literatures of the Allied
Nations, and holding at this time in especially warm remembrance the solace
and guidance derived from those rich sources, we, the undersigned, feel that
it would be a significant and friendly act if American writers, as a body,
ex-
pressed in some practical way, their sympathy and admiration for the Soldiers
of Liberty now lying wounded in France. To this end, we ask writers of
the United States to contribute One Dollar each to
THE AMERICAN AUTHORS FUND
FOR THE RELIEF OF WOUNDED SOLDIERS OF THE ALLIED NATIONS.
Contributions may be addressed to the Authors Fund, care of the State
Street Trust Company, 33 State St., Boston, Mass., and will be gratefully
acknowledged.
