Dear Miss Dorothy:-
Taking certain liberties and presuming much, I address you as an old
friend, altho’ I regret to say I have never had the unquestionable
pleasure of meeting you. My reason for writing is to compliment you on
your excellent work in compiling the “News from Home” or “News Summary”
which are perused with much gusto in this “Never to be forgotten” part
of the world.
Basing my opinion on the several editions of yours which I have read, I
must say that excellent judgement is used in the selection of articles.
Personally, and I think I express the general opinion when I say that
articles most in demand are “General News from Home”, “Humurous sections
and Cartoons.” “Sporting Pages and anything that portrays the bright
side of life. We have enough drama out here to satisfy all.
Thanking you for the pleasure you have afforded me in my spare moments, I am.
Sincerely Yours,
R. C. McKELLAR
