North Wing. 6/3/51.

Friend Dr. Van Waters;

With the oncoming visit of Mrs. E. Roosevelt this month of June, we feel, that her being so nationally and widely known, that any subject she chose to speak about, would be received with the highest gratifications from the North Wing students and Officers.

What the majority of us here would like to know, what suggestions she could give us on how we could help on our return to the

II

community, such as "Kindness to Humanity," as which is practiced here in the institution.

At the present time, we can only, and do offer our Prayers and Spiritual Thoughts for the Armed Forces, and also the Civilians whom are not as fortunate as we are to have the Opportunity to Rehabillitate themselves, under the Guidence and Good Consul we receive here.

May God Bless you Always, I remain, as always, One of your loyal students,

Norine McArdle

North Wing 12/23/51.

Friend Dr;

Your cherised gift and card rec'd, and my deepest thanks to you, also, no zombie could of been in a worse daze than I was for a few days after receiving such a beautiful Xmas present: there are no words that I could say to you, that would express my gratification.

I will give every ounce of strength and co-operation I have within me, to prove myself to all whom were

concerned, and the ones who were not.

If there is anything within my power and means Dr, I can do for you or your welfare, please do not hesitate to ask.

Closing with God's Blessings on you always.

I remain,

Always your loyal student,

Norine Mangano.
