Wilber Anthony in New Jersey
"We wish to express our thanks to the American Legion and to the Monitor Office for the courtesy of sending us the paper. It is a real treat to read the home town news when you are away from home.

"We are living in New Brunswick close to Camp Kilmer, which is 35 miles southwest of New York City.

Have been to New York quite a few times and enjoyed many interesting sights.
"Wish to say "Hello" to all our friends and will be looking forward to additional copies of the Monitor."
Mr. and Mrs. Wilber Anthony, New Brunswick, N. J.
