Dear Sir:
I received ny copy of "Hot off the Hoover R:.il” in yesterday’s nail. Ty
heart icst thanks, a ixl you i'lay rest assiu’cd that I absorbed evory pa/;o with the
.-q^catost of pleasure. Upon seeing it, a nu:'ibor uf r.iy "Buddies" asked periussion
to road it. At this writing, it is nv.>\7 .lalcinr; its round of the barracks,
Althou.;h at tLues sone of rjy "BuddiesTf have jokin;;ly referred to ae as a
"Kill Billy," after roadin/;-j^-ur publication, they have v;illin{;ly adidtted that
any co:ir.iuni.ty such a s ours, \jhich crji publish a paper like the "Hoover Rail"
iiost certr.inly does not cone under the "Hill Billy" catc/j’ory. Due to very strict
censorship, I an unable to state defijiitely \ihere I rxi, but can safely say that
v70 are ready ajicl ea£;cr to jo to oxiy poSlnt to liiich v/c j-u.{;ht be shipped. Our know-
led.^e that the follcs at hone are so strongly behind us is an a dded incentive to
uur inevitable joal. In conclusion, per/.iit i le to a^ain thanl^ to assure
you that I lookinr forward very ea;;erly to your ne:ct edition.
Very sincerely,
