The letter received yesterday. first from her husband since the outbreak of war, was thorough ly censored. So many parts of it were cut out with scissors that it had little continuity. The letter, which came by airmail, was passed by the censor, after it had been clipped, at Midway under date of December 15. It was postmarked at Pearl Har bor January 1. Mr. Byrum, however, might not be able to satisfy his deter mination to work on, for civil ian workers on Midway have been undergoing evacuation, according to word received by relatives of a number of local men on the Island.
