Letter Carried by Doll to Japan

 
Great Falls, Montana                

TO THE CHILDREN OF THE LAND OF CHERRY BLOSSOMS:

We, the Camp Fire Girls of Great Falls, Montana, a state which has been called the Land of Shining Mountains, send you greetings. With our greetings comes Miss Montana, who has been telling all the people here that she is starting on a long journey and has been bidding them good-by. All who have seen her have sent a wish for your happiness, and the hope that she may be the bearer of a message of peace and goodwill from the land of Uncle Sam.

Her outfit includes a Camp Fire ceremonial gown, and middy and skirt, tie and tam, such as are worn by Camp Fire girls throughout the United States. We hope when you see her in them that you will think of us.

Yours in friendship for Wohelo,      
(Signed by 171 girls)
