Summary/Abstract: In a letter to an association of Polish theatre creators at the time of war against the Bolshevist Russia, Chief of State Józef Piłsudski thanks for the funds collected for the army as a result of a fundraiser called “The Christmas for the Polish Soldier.” Piłsudski stresses out that the fundraiser makes the fighting soldier feel that “the homeland loves and remembers him.” For the money raised, one could then buy 14 tons of dark bread (35 thousand one-pound loafs).
