A SELF-EXPLANATORY note from Mr. Paul A. Dorn, Box 1712 WLB,. Los Angeles 36, USA: “To-day, I received in the mail a parcel containing five copies of ‘PIM,’ apparently as the result of my recent advertise ments for back issues of this magazine.

In the upper left-hand corner of the parcel appears the name of Pte. Richard P. McFall, No. 67315, ‘On Active Service,’ but there is no address given.

“That a man on active service should go to so much trouble for me, a total stranger, thousands of miles across the Pacific, touches me deeply. Not only would I like to express my appreciation to him, but I would also like to know if there is some way in which I can re ciprocate for his kindness. Would you be good enough to publish this letter in ‘PIM’ on the, chance that it will come to his attention so he may know how grate ful I am for his contribution?

“This is but another example of the splendid generosity shotom me by the people of your part of the world in my campaign to place complete files of your magazine in our American libraries, so that when our boys come home from down there they will find available the one publication that really covers the South Pacific area.”
