Many letters of appreciation have
been received.
The Methodist Church Letter
which I have been receiving regu-
larly has been a great source of
pleasure, not only as noteworthy
newscast on the activities of the
Rockville citizenry, at home and
abroad, but also as a friendly re-
minder of what constant moral and
spiritual support the remaining
members of the church are striving
to give those in the service" one
fellow wrote.
News and views from the letters
are printed in the next News Letter,
so the other boys may know of the
writer's progress.
At each monthly meeting of the
w. S. C. S. Miss Magruder reads one
of these many letters she has re-
ceived thanking her for the church
support.
You are deeply in our thoughts
and prayers"
Love and greetings to the men,
bers of my old Sunday school class,
and all others with whom I have
associated in work and play"
