Soldier Writes
Dear Sir:
Just a line or two to let you know I
received The Mill 'Whistle a few days
ago and was more than glad to know
the people at home haven’t forgotten
me. It was a little difficult for me to
get it because I had changed addresses
but I received it. I want to thank you
one and all at Fieldcrest Mills for send
ing it to me. I would like to receive it
as long as I am in service.
Best wishes to all.
