Letter to the Editor
Dear Sir:
I was pleased to hear through
Sen. Bartlett that my letter to the
Mayor and Council of Kodiak on
the Katmai eruption was published
in the Mirror.
It was in 1933 that I was last in
Kodiak. It was very surprising that
it was necessary to look carefully
to find remnants of the sixteen
inches of ashes measured on the
level ground after the fall ceased
about June 9, 1912.
My last visits to your city, also
to SE and SW Alaska were in 1931,
1932 and 1933 when in command
of the Coast Guard Cutter “Talla
poosa.” I remember well the Er
skine family in Kodiak. I boarded
with the Pajoman family at Afog
nak just after the eruption, when
sent there to take care of about
115 destitute natives. They had a
store there.
Very truly yours,
Capt. Clarence H. Dench

Dear Editor:
I wish to extend belated thanks
for the two issues of your news
paper wherein you announced my
desire to make connections with a
girl or boy in Kodiak.
I am now corresponding with a
very nice girl from Kodiak. We
understand each other very well,
despite the fact that my English
is far from being perfect.
Many greetings, and again many
thanks.
