Author of Letter, letter to the editor, Title of Newspaper, Date of publication, DOI/URL(if online).
To cite an editorial in Chicago on the Bibliography page, follow this formula: Author's Last Name, First Name. "Title of Article." Title of Periodical (Publication City), Month Day, Year. DOI or URL.
To cite a "letter to the editor", include the text Letter to the editor in square brackets, right after the title of the letter and before the title of the newspaper. There is no period after the title of the letter.
Center the title of your paper in the middle of the page, halfway down. Center your name directly under the title. Your professor's name, course title, and date should be written in three lines and centered at the bottom of the page. Use Times or Times New Roman 12 pt font for the title page.

General formatting Chicago doesn't require a specific font or font size, but recommends using something simple and readable (e.g., 12 pt. Times New Roman). Use margins of at least 1 inch on all sides of the page. The main text should be double-spaced, and each new paragraph should begin with a ½ inch indent.
Authors' names are last name first in the bibliography. If there are multiple works by the same author, alphabetize them by title. If there are four or more authors of a work, use the first author's name followed by “et al.” in the note, but list all of the authors in the bibliography entry.
Here are the basic guidelines for Chicago Style: Include your name, your instructor's name, the course, and the date in the upper left-hand corner of the first page. Double-space the text. 12 point font, Times New Roman is recommended. Page numbers in the header of the first page (not title page, first page of paper)
Month, day: Spell out the month and use figures for the day: “The symposium took place April 2.” Avoid the use of figures for the month, as in “1/2/2011,” which could be read as either January 2 or February 1. Month, year: If month, day, and year are present, set off the year with matching commas.
