Dear rs:-Today l had one of
the most pleasant surprises that
anyone could wish fora late is
sue of the Milford Chronicle. Since
news from home is quite scarce
over here; it is a truly great treat
to read news about the home
towneand all of the people. Espe-
cially of interest was the Ser
vice Slants" column, for from that
l can learn about all of the fell
lows now in the service. l can only
express by. deep appreciation for
the Chronicle.
Since l have been in England,
I've been particularly fortunate in
being able to see some of the
places of interest. Tours of historic
and famous sights sponsored by
the Red Cross are always avail
able and the guides explain in their
best English manner the remark
able phases of all.
England is a very fine country
and the people are friendly and in
teresting. However. there is really
only one place and that is Milford
and we are are looking forward
to our return.
My best regards to all.
Sincerely,
IL

Dear Sirs:-When l left home
