[Letter from Cecelia McKie to P. R. Lawson - June 1, 1943]

Letter sent from Cecelia McKie to Mr. P. R. Lawson, Assistant Treasurer at Manila Electric Company, acknowledging his letter of May 25, 1943. McKie describes her shortwave radio and how she records messages. She explains while she has not heard anyone mention the Manila Electric Company, some internees do mention 'the company'. Letter includes a list of names that the Manila Electric Company may recognize: 'David W. Levitt (Levy) (?); Louis Decoito; George Howard Crosby (?); Thomas P. Condy; Ion (Ronald) (?) Leing (Lane) (?); Lymos (Amos) (Lionel) William Detver'. McKie states that it would be a good plan to send the list of Manila Electric employees to her. She mentions she keeps the letters in a scrapbook, in chronological order, so they are easy to find by date of broadcast message. She requests a map of New York City and Long Island as she hears many messages for New York, Brooklyn, The Bronx.
