Kilden, last evening and that he looked ex­ ceedingly well and was in the best of spirits. We were ever so glad to see him for my wife and I were resident in Canada for a number of years and we are deeply interested in all of the Canadian boys who have, 'come across to help the Mother Land in this her supreme effort. The response from the colonies has been simply magnifi­ cent and they have sent us a very fine body indeed, of fighting men. We hope that your boy will play his part and that in the province of God he may make a safe return. Your prayers will, I ani sure, accompany him. I was resident for three years at Sackville, New Brunswick; four years at Port Carling on the Muskoka Lakes, and two years at Cochrane in Northern Ontario. With very kind regards, Yours sincerely, ; (Rev.) George A. Steel.
