DELIVERY or FOOD SUPPLIES

Postmaster Turner has received
the following letter in response to
an inquiry regarding the shipment
of the surplus food supplies being
sold through the local post Office
Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 10, 1919.
Postmaster, Mt. Sterling, KY,
In reply to your communication of
Sept. 18th, this Office at present is
not able to advise you when your
goods win arrive. Thousands Of or
ders are being received by us from
practically all cities Of nine states,
besides the local distribution to
cities. Immense amount of work
and the details incident thereto
make this job quite an undertaking.
You may assure your people, how
ever, that their goods will arrive at
the earliest possible moment. We
are more anxious to please the peo-
pie by delivering their goods than
they are to receive them.
