Dear Doctor Stoughton:
Salutations to yourself and to Wagner College from our Army Air Forces. It is a long time since I left Wagner officially but I still feel that it is a part of “home”.
One of your letters about Wagner’s current financial campaign was forwarded to me from home. Were you aware of the fact that I am a number of one of our armed forces you might have foreseen what my answer would be.
I realize that it is now imperative that Wagner continue its work in education, both scholastic and religious. Insofar as I would like to be able to do my share of keeping my alma mater going I feel badly that I can’t do so. I regret that I must inform you that at the present time Wagner can not expect any financial aid from me.
At least I can wish you the best of luck in your present endeavor. I note that many Wagnerites besides
[Page 2]
myself are in the army or navy. After we have secured our position Wagner will find that her sons, and possibly now even her daughters, have had a great part in guaranteeing that civilization as we understand it and teach it shall not be destroyed.
With my kindest regards to those of Wagner who might know me I remain,
Very truly yours,
(Corp.) Irving Green
