              of this very important service.               
 
                                                            
 
 
In the United States, as elsewhere, the Apostolic Delegate would be   
charged with the direction and control of this service. He would receive   
and forward the small, open forms on which it is permitted to write a   
message of not more than twenty five words of a purely personal character,   
intended to relieve the anguish or preoccupation of a distant loved one.   
These messages are rigidly censored before being sent from Vatican City,   
but the Holy See is quite willing that they be submitted for censorship in   
   the United States if this would facilitate the matter.
