Show With the Colors From J. M. Kinney jr., Q.M. ?C With a Carrier In Pacific Dear Mr. Williams: I don't know if you'll remember me or not but I'm writing anyway for a subscription to your paper. iShortly after you receive this you'll get the money from my mother in Los Angeles. She has been sending me some clippings and I found out I had lost all touch with most of my old school chums. I see that the lads from our home town are doing all right for themselves in the armed forces. I've run into a few and it's made me happy to talk over old times with them. I'm in the same place as most of the fellows that have written to you somewhere in the Pacific and I haven't been in the states since the war started, so you can readily see I'm out of touch with a lot of my old friends. I'll appreciate a subscription as soon as you receive the money. Thanks again, Mr. Williams, and good luck. ' JOE KINNEY.
