Dear Sirs,

I take great pleasure in thanking you from the bottom of my heart for sending me the weekly paper.

It really does a man good to know what is going on in the old home town. I also wish to thank all my friends for the cigarettes they have sen me over here a man is completely lost without his smokes. There is really not much that I can tell you at present so I had better sign off 

Thinking of you once again, I remain 

Sincerely yours,

Jack Stuart.
