Dear Mr.. Yerkes:
! Let me thank you for the Chron-
icle. | received my first edition last
week and must say that enjoyed
it more than any paper that I've
read since I've been here in Italy.
I've never lived right in the
town of Milford, but I've lived
around it all my life. The first
newspaper that / ever remember
reading was the Milford Chronicle
so you see why l enjoy it so much.
I'm looking forward every week to

hope that l won't be disappointed.
There are several fellows here
from Delaware. of course / can't
mention the names. that enjoy the
paper as much as l do.
Thanks again,

Milford Chronicle
Milford, Delaware
Dear Sirs:-Just a little thank
you letter, trying to express my
appreciation to you. for sending me
the home town paper. Houston is
really my home town, but l con-
slider the Chronicle as much my
paper as the regular inhabitants of
Milford do.
l have been overseas well over
ten months and have been getting
the Chronicle regularly. / say regu-
larly. / received four papers today,
dated as follows: October 29, I943,
November 19, 1943, February rs,
1914 and May IL, 1914. l realize
this is no fault of the Chronicle.
it's just one of those things that
cannot be helped. Although they
were old papers we devoured every
page and gathered lots of news. l
