Dear Sir: N
-
I have receiving your great and wonderful paper and am so proud
' r ead and display it with its all Indian news and its educational outlook
and great modern future. Also the cosmopolitan outlook as the proud pre
sentations of the great international gospel singer Mahalia Jackson, a ]
unification of all cultures. Many of my friends were very pleasantly -ur
prised at the thorough precepts of this paper. Please continue the good
work and keep the paper flowing, as your staff is on an upper or even -
keel with the world’s opinions. Many of us of more or less Indian decent
have never seen an all Indian paper before and again say we are proud <
and thrilled.

Yours most sincerely,
Rev. Mr. P. Gomez
