Student seeks first-hand information about Alaska

To the editor:

I am writing from the smallest state in the United States, Rhode Island. I am doing a report on a particular state for my geography class. So I chose Alaska.

Could you please publish this letter in your paper so that your readers could help me on my report? My teacher explained that first-hand information from citizens of our chosen state would be much more helpful than information we get in books and off the Internet. If you decide to publish this letter could you please send me a copy of this newspaper? If your readers can, then can send me information here at school. (Lenira Dos Anjos, c/o Brian Gilmore, Goff Jr. High School, 974 Newport Ave., Pawtucket, RI 02861.)

I would really appreciate if you can publish this letter.
