May 9th, 1919.

Mr. Horace L. Jones,
Director War Camp Community Service,
Newport News, Va.

My dear Sir:-

I learn that there has been inaugurated at Newport News a “States Welcome Home” program for the 500,000 overseas soldiers who are yet to return through that port, and I hereby designate Mr. J. W. Brownlee as a representative of North Carolina at said port. I regret that there is no appropriation made by the State to pay any part of his expenses, but am happy to learn that his expenses can be met by your organization.

Very respectfully,

Governor.
