The Auburn Red Cross workers
have been cheered by the receipt of
letters from the soldiers overseas
thanking them fee parcels sent before
Christmas. Following is • letter from
one of the Auburn boys : ,
Witley Camp, Surrey. F..ne..
Feb. 7. 1017.
DEAR MRS. MOORIDOE,—I must ad-
mit first of all, that your letter came
AV it surprkr, but a surprise of tbt
moment only After seeing military
lite for nearly a year and knowing
the reel facts of what Canadian wo-
men are doing for the soldiers, a letter
from one of those workers isn't looked
on as a surprise but rather as a bit of
encouragement to et ill "carry on."
Was your letter welcome ? Well, it
seems to be that even a signature
from across the sea would be welcome
over herein England and much more
so in France. if you raw how eagerly
the "toys" watch fur the return of the
mail -man your question would be
answerer. The mail -man and the
poetmasteeare the two most impor-
tant men in any battalion. Both are
neceesary, and neither would be dis-
pensed with if such a thing were pos-
sible,
A number of those Foxes that were
sent have arrived, std probably all of
them. Mine cawelaod alio the one
sent to W..., which I forwarded to
him In Franc.. He will sourly appre-
ciate it in the ugout where he spends
his idle mom tits. He stays there
dui ing the de —about a mile tack
from the firing line—and goes up to
the front line a night to do entrench-
ing wort.
Concerning the box rent to me, if
you have the opportunity convey my
sincerest thanks to every Red Cross
worker who was connected with the
sending of it. i might add that the
"eats" were so good I simply had to
give the other Red Cross boys a taste.
We are all in one hut and such par-
els are always shared among the
nineteen of us. I'd like to know who
baked the butt -ease, because it was—
well, wry teeth are watering right now,

With regard to that lent day at

ful when everyone etre eeemed so sad
