Dear Editor:
I enjoy getting the EBWIN CHATTER &ery month because it brings
me news of friends and of happenings from home, course, my
CHATTERS are nearly three months late in getting to me because the
Navy has seen fit to move me around quite a bit. I hope ay address
now will be permanent for a while at leaflt. So I am hoping with
this new address, my CHATTEBS will arrive regularly and on time.
You have a good paper and it is especially good to hfve and read
when yon are away from home and your friends. Keep up the good
work.

Dear Editor:
I was very pleased to receive the December iaree of the EBWIN
CHATTER. I have received two issues since I joined the Navy, 25
Jane 1951, and would very mnch lflce to get a copy every rtonth.
Since I do not get a local paper of any kind from home, the news
contained in the Cooleemee section of the CHATTER is very beneficial
to me. I read every article so as to gather a little information about
the friends and fellow workers I used to know so well.
I feel that most boys in service are glad to read hny news from
home. That is why I want to be put on the mailing list for every
issue of the CHATTER.
I have been attached to the U. 8. Naval Supply Center, Pearl
Harbor, T. H., for the laM fourteen months. Although the Hawaiian
Islands are beautiful, the weather ideal, I still think about all the fine
friends I once had in the community.
In view of the fact that I am no longer employed by the mill, and
too, that I am so far away, my interests are still with all the people
that I used to know as my fellow workers.
I want to thank you for any kind consideration in regard to the
matter. Also, if there is any charge audi as subscription rates, postage,
etc., please don't hesitate to let me know.
Sincerely yours,
BOBBY E. EDWARDS, SN, USN
