Dear Mr.. Townsend
At last I'm a recipient of that
wonderful little home town news
paper, Milford Chronicle. Reading
it really does me worlds of good
and helps bring home closer to
me.
While in the States. read it
casually. but now l find myself
anxiously anticipating the Chron-
icle and carefully scrutinizing each
page.
1t certainly helps in supple
menting and replenishing that
emptiness l have for home.
Truly. now you may add another
ardent reader of the Chronicle TO
your list.
Please permit me to congratulate
and thank you for your splendid
effort keeping up the morale of
Delaware's servicemen by sending
them the Milford Chronicle.
Sincerely,
