Milford Chronicle
Delaware
Dear Sirs:
Today received my first Mil
ord Chronicle. When | left the
States l was wondering if l would
ret the Chronicle while overseas.
Mother had told me that it was be-
ng sent by you and you have no
dea how glad | was to hear it.
Due to the mail situation and the
requent changes of my APO, it has
,een six long months since | have
;een a Chronicle. You can readily
imagine how happy l was when the
.opy of January 81 came to me to-
lay. read it from front to back
md was certain l hardly skipped a
word. l thought an awful lot of the
Chronicle and looked forward to
he day it would arrive when | was
II the States. Over here. its mean
ng to me has increased a thousand
old.
Often | eat breakfast in Sicily.
Inner in Algiers and supper in
tally. All in a days work. Believe
ne, the Chronicle is surely appre-
lated after such a trip.
Thanks Il million
