Sgt. Akin Writes Interesting Letter From Italy

Description

Letter from A.V. Akin Jr. to the Wiregrass Farmer Editor Nora Lawrence Smith.

Italy
August 20, 1944

Dear Miss Nora:
I've just learned from home that my subscription to the 'Wiregrass' has been renewed and thanks to you, I'll continue to look forward to getting the news from home.

I'll assure you, during these 21 months overseas, my paper has been one of my main sources of pleasure. I read every page and every line, it's all 'news' and it comes from home. That along makes it important."

....

"I'll say again, for all the men I've worked and lived with along the way - thanks to those on the homefront- and personally, I thank the good people in Turner County who are doing such a swell job in backing us up.

My best wishes to everyone,
Respectfully yours,
A.V. Akin Jr.
