- Letters
- Monday
March 27, 2000
I have found it difficult to keep up to date with the mail that comes in and have
not updated the letters section of Ensign in some time. However, I received a really
important message yesterday and have put it into this section so you can find out

Please keep sending me e-mail, so many articles
flow directly from these communications and it gives this publication a vital link
with reality.
