COMMUNICATION TO THE EDITOR

Sir:

To receive the “Jewish Daily Bulletin” regularty for a year is indeed a privilage.

Your paper, many a time, helped me considerably in bringing before the people on black and white just what was going on in Jewish circles.

There is no doubt that this Bulletin will be of a great interest to me in the future as well as it has been in the past.
