The first page is a letter from Colonel J. R. Kean to ARMCO, detailing the establishment of a Branch Post Office for this Service, in connection with the French Automobile Service Post Office, to facilitate future mail handling, and hopefully avoid massive backlogs of mail. Colonel Kean also notes that as of January 1, 2018, only American numbers will be used for the Sections; he provides the new correct mailing address for the ARMCO Group, using the new Section 646 number. The second page is a copy of a letter written to the Section Commander, referencing communication received by General Pershing, congratulating the men of Section 646 with the award of the fourragère. The third page is a copy of a cablegram received from Colonel Kean by George M. Verity in Middletown, stating that the ARMCO barrel (care package) has been forwarded from Paris, and noting the new mailing address to be used. These letters and cablegrams are mimeographed reproductions. The original content of the letters and cablegrams were typed out and copied by ARMCO. Copies of this and other correspondence were then generally distributed to friends and family members of the ARMCO Ambulance Corps, and to ARMCO employees.</div>
