PAGE, Major 11th Infantry, U. S. A. United States Army, War Department,} FORT ABRAHAM LINCOLN, Dakota, Jan. 20, 1886.} MR. J. JAROS, Chicago, Ill. Sirs:--Your heavy wear I have named "Blizzard" Underwear, after wearing a suit myself, with the mercury 27 degrees below zero, with a twenty-mile wind, I was perfectly comfortable, and felt a warm glow of the skin during the whole trip. My ambulance driver reports his experience with the thermometer 35 degrees below zero, and in a heavy gale, saying the drawers were much warmer than two pairs of very heavy woolen drawers he had been wearing, and that he did not feel the cold in the slightest degree. We found it washed as well as any woolen goods, and did not shrink. I am fully convinced of the excellent qualities of your goods, and find them doing good service. I will request the other officers to report to you also. Very respectfully, JOHN H. PAGE, Maj. U. S. A. * * * * * FORT MEADE, DAK. CAPT. F. M. MCDOUGALL, 7th Cavalry, U. S. A.
