of this year. Now, I hope it will be
long before Christmas of 1945.
Some of the contents of the parcel
wilf be used to partly repay the
hospitality shown to us by the peq-
.ple‘‘ of Holland. They have been
wonderfully kind to us and any
thing they can do fpr us they do
willingly. When the Germans left
here the Hollanders were left with
nothing but what they had kp’pt
hidden. One of the .friends I have
me£ over bere wishes to set up in
business for himself after the war.
He makes up furs'." This friend, M.
Bupd by name, has asked me' if 1
could give him the name? of any
fur farmers and fur agents so he
might, do -business with Canada. I
wonder, sir, if you could, help him
in this matter. If, ypu cpuld send
me any addresses I. would certainly,
appreciate it^ and Mr.' Bund, who
has such a good opinion of Canada
now, would appreciate it also.
From what I heir from people who
know him he is a veyy sound busi
ness, man and should be able to dp
a good business between Canada
and Holland after the war.
Thanking you again for the splen
did p’q.rpq.L1—Yours sincerely, Arthur
Hastewell.
