My Dear Madam:

WY Lear MaudIn.
l experience great emotion at re-
ceiving the presents which our
great allies and Americans have
sent. We respect and love those
who cater to such small country.
You have shown in the past that you
are always ready to help peoples
who enjoy liberty.
Unfortunate is the poor and muir
dered Greece, common friends of an
ungrateful ally, which could not
have survived without the Greek
army.( Note: The writer refers to
Soviet Russia.) The Lord saw that
other nations didn't forget Greece.
The greatest of these countries is
the United States of America. With
their help, Greece is looking for
ward to better days to come.
Please permit a high school boy
equivalent to second year college
in U.S.), who was lucky enough to
receive the clothes and food, to offer
all his thanks.
Greece Communists have burned
our poor homes, we go from place
to place without a home.
Please, l want to thank you again
from the bottom of my wounded
heart.
Sincerely yours,

Fire Badly Damages

Confne Blaze To Hotel
Building.
A general alarm was sounded on
Tuesday evening when fire broke
out in the roof of the Colonial Hotel,
at the corner of South Potomac and
Antietam streets, shortly after five
o'clock. Cause of the fire was unde-
termined as we went to press, some
claiming that the roof was struck by
lightning during the thunderstorm
that broke over the city about the
same time that the fire was discov-
cred, while others claim that it was
caused by short circuit.
Following up the fine work they
did in controlling the fire at the
OllAlSy DuIluiAlS 1CW odyS OSlOle,
the fire companies were able to iso-
late the blaze in the roof and top
floor, the rest of the damage to the
hotel being caused by the smoke
and water. For awhile it was feared
that the blaze might spread to adj
joining buildings.
All guests were evacuated safely
and practically all personal belong
ings were saved.
