Editor of Wrangell Sentinel Wrangell, Alaska
 Dear Mrs. Williams:
 As I haven't been receiving my subscription to The Sentinel for a. bout the last nine or ten months, it belatedly occurred to me that you might not have my address, or if you have, perhaps it is the wrong one. I really do miss getting the paper and the news of home, etc, it contains, although I do hear from relatives often and friends occasion ally. Many little news items, l know which to them are not con- sidere6 of any great importance, are left out and as I'm very inter- ested in all that takes place, l would appreciate it very much if you would see what you can do a. bout the matter.
 I would like to take this oppOr- tunity, now that I'm writing a let ter to you, to ask you to give my very best regards and all to all of Wrangell. You might also add that I would like to hear from any of my old friends that are still in town. Word of honor, that I'll ans wer all letters excepting threaten ing ones!
 I am attached to P. T. squad ron and we are at the present op- erating in the Philippine Islands. expect to get relieved in about six or eight months and if circum- stances will permit I'll be coming home to Wrangell for as long a time as my orders will allow.
 I know you will do all you can about my subscription. thank you and remain,
