RED CROSS ENDOWMENT FUND
In connection with Admiral Evans’ generous contribution the following letter from the Victor Talking Machine Company is of interest:
“Admiral Evans has lately made for this Company a record of his farewell address to the men of the United States Navy upon the occasion of his leaving the fleet in San Francisco. We are sending to you in Admiral Evans’ name, our check for $400, which he wished you to use for the benefit of the Red Cross Society, in any way you may deem best.”
