FERGUSON (United Press Staff Correspondent) With the American Forces in Pic- ardy, June 15.—(By Mail.— Mr. Charles A. Porter, Windsor Locks, Conn. Dear Mr. Porter: This is to let you know that the letter you mailed along early in April, addressed in such a unique.way has been deliv- ered. Remember, you addressed the “American Expeditionary Force, “To the Soldier who has no letter in his mail.” It was a fine letter, written as MESSAGE TO THE WORLD only an old soldier such as you are, could write.

All the mail was gone through, and of course one of the boys failed to get a letter. Your letter was then handed to him. He enjoyed it. Then he put the letter back into the envelope and pinned the envelope shut. After that he wrote on the front, “Please forward.” The couriers work in relays from one place to another, so the next courier leaving for the front took the letter with him. The boys there, who hadn’t any mail opened your letter and it was read again. Then they pinned the envelope up and gave it to another courier. He took it to the next place, so that from Windsor Locks, your letter went right into the front line. It's pretty hard sometimes for the boys to get mail, but that letter of yours addressed to the “Soldier who has no letter” fair- 1y zipped through. flower bedecked and carrying Amer- - German airplanes were accounted for ° —
