Message:: [QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 382081, member: 56"]Interesting that it says "Registered for transmission by Canadian Magazine Post".  Suggests the this copy originally belonged to a Canadian. Lots of gaps: I enclose cheque for 30/-- subscription for Maga, commencing August 1924[?] and trust you can forward the magazine to the other address until I can [  ] [  ] a permanent one. I have read many appreciations of Maga, as reproduced [  ] [  ] [  ] and have often intended to add mine, for what it is worth. I have been taking the Maga for [  ] years (thanks to WH Smith Sons, etc – at home, having just left England) and [  ] [  ] [  ] to [  ] intact, I took it in duplicate. I was serving in Palestine, Syria, and, in spite of the trials of heat (particularly in the desert) and [  ] [  ], there were always a large number of men of all tastes in my company who would volunteer to jettison [  ] clothing to carry a copy of Blackwood’s Magazine, which circulated thus for many a month.  In fact, I have known men, arriving in hospital from the line, found to have [  ] in their kit a copy months old, which had been through many hands after leaving mine, and when myself was wounded, the copy I myself [  ] have taken [  ] [  ] [  ] , because it is known how highly valued they were. [  ] [  ] who perhaps somewhat [  ] nevertheless speak for themselves, and if [  ] to this Maga could now be quite incredible, you will understand when forwarded my subscription to insure regular delivery, which might be jeopardized if [  ] it locally here. (WH Smith was/is a bookstore chain, so the writer was initially buying the magazine off the rack.)[/QUOTE]
