Editor the Wallaceburg News,

Wallaceburg, ON.

 

Dear Mr. Editor.

   I will not bore you with a long letter, but just this much to try and express my appreciation for your kindness in sending me the News.

   Upon numerous occasions I have noticed requests by newspapers to boys in the service, asking them to pass the papers along to anyone from home. Until recently there has been no one to pass it along to Terry Hill is here with me so now instead of one will be able to enjoy it.

   Even though we all hear from home regularly there is nothing like the good old News for making us feel that we are getting everything.

   Repectfully yours.

A. McNaughton,

RCNVR,

Halifax NS.
