Agriculture; WWI

Description

This letter was sent from the U.S. Food Administration to state the problem that the nation must start conserving particular food intake because they needed to supply more food to the Allies overseas. This in turn was connected to a card, as suggested at the end of the letter, about enrolling into the cause and spread not only the word, but enforce the new food conservation methods.
