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.
