Dear Dr. Kouymjian:
Just a short note to thank you
for your good letter and also
for sending me Alice K
Barter's    Saroyan's Armenians, an Anthology. It was
very kind and generous of
you and I do appreciate it.
You have always been most
kind and generous though the
years and I appreciate it and
am most grateful for it.
I'm very proud of all that you
have done and are doing for
all the Armenians everywhere, and not only at CSUF.
May God watch over you and
bless you for all that you do.
You and the Armenian Studies Program at CSU Fresno
have my best wishes. Again
thank you for your gift, Dr.
Kouymjian!
Sincerely,
Dr. Martha

Dear Editor:
I have been receiving your
newspaper for a long while
and enjoy it a lot. The address that you send it to is
correct despite recent notions on my envelope to the
contrary, probably scribbled
on by the Singaporian Post
Office.
The reason I am writing you
is to seek the assistance of
your paper in finding a correspondent in Armenia. I
have written to all those
names that appeared in your
last edition received in Australia. However please note
that I have written to a
myriad of people but not
one of my letter received a
reply.
I write on behalf of a benevolent group that normally send parcels of goods,
toys, school items, books to
people who have means and
poor and have been doing so
since 1980.1 want to do the
same for those in Armenia,
Nagorno-Karabagh, and the
Georgian region of
Akhalkalak which is mainly
inhabited by Armenians of
little means. A sample ofthe
letter send recently is attached for your perusal.
Please refer to the high
lighted area which briefly describes the manner of our operation. Please diffuse this letter or its meaning in your next
edition, together with my name
and address for any correspondent to contact me regarding
the above. May be you also
have a way or mean to introduce us to correspondents in
Armenia? We seek your assistance in this respect. A final
point: Is there anybody out
there who has written to Armenia by mail and whose letter has actually gone through?
I am willing to bet that apart
from phoning or occasional fax
nothing goes through.
With all my sincere gratitude
and thanks, I remain,
Yours sincerely,
Paul Georges Manoukian
