I am glad to learn that you have been chosen to take charge of the Salvation Army relief work in Belgium, because it opens such a large field for the exercise of your great talents, but as a citizen of Jersey City, I am sorry our city is to lose the benefit of your future services. future services. When you go, take with you my sincere wishes for your welfare and success. It may be well to have a statement from me as Governor of New Jersey, that you are of American stock, and a native born citizen of the United States. Department of Public Safety Jersey City, N. J. MAJOR WALLACE WINCHELL, My dear Major: October 7, 1915. Jersey City, N. J. I regret very much that you are going to leave Jersey City, the home of your activities for many years past, but in selecting you to go to Belgium to carry on the work which you are capable, the head of the Salvation Army showed great wisdom. I trust that your duties there will not require you to stay any longer than is absolutely necessary, for I believe your presence is greatly needed in Jersey City where you have done such excellent work. As head of the Police Department of Jersey City, I have often had occasion to congratulate you upon the aid you have rendered to members of the Department. Your sympathy and kindness for unfortunate men and women have done much towards bringing them to a sense of their duties and making of them better men and women. I know of no one who has rendered more valuable service for the uplifting of mankind than yourself and I know that in your field of duty you will be as faithful as you have been during your activities in this city. I wish you Godspeed on your journey. (Signed) FRANK HAGUE, |
