Small Letter
“This is the smallest letter I have ever received,” said the town clerk of Sumner, Mr J. F. Menzies, holding up a piece of paper five inches by three in size at a meeting of the Sunrner Borough Council. The letter, which came from Sydney, accompanied a cheque-for rates. The sender, in excusing the ‘scrap of paper,’ wrote: “We are cutting everything to the bone.” He added: “Here, we are all trying to meet the stress, and one has such a feeling of New Zealand’s war effort that one feels bound to do a bit where possible for ‘Down Under.’ ”
