Some Piaee in Inlanders, Jan. 104b. 1910 My Dear Father Your parcel of tobacco, matches, eta, to hand a couple of days ago, and was very glad to get it, a good awoke le great comfort, as to a chew time are many places we cannot omoke and then is the time we euro like a chew. The matches are of a good quality and well adapted for this country. Mat- ches are a rare article, although( we get an ieeuo once in a while, We get en issue of cigarettes but they are poor dope, if the people of Canada who subscribe. to the tobacco fund knew what we were getting I am afraid there would be an upheaval In the department that have the handling of it, As I understand the money is sent to England to Martins Ltd., a to- bacco company and they supply the smokes, poor cheap dope. They are all wasted very seldom you see any per- son smoking them. still, the .good fel- low in Canada is giving motley to provide us with a good smoke and we are getting inferior stuff. Some per- son is sure making a good thing out of it. I told you in my last letter I was not feeling extra well, I haven't im• proved much since I last wrote, I am not wbat you can call sick, just very miserable. I may leave the 5:h Bat- talion I have put in for a transfer to the 3vd Field Ambulance, I do not know whether it will go:through or not, but hope so. There is only one advantage, I would have a dry place to sleep. I haye been watching for a letter from you, but have received none for some time, I asked in my last for you to send me the Orange Sentinel if you could get it, I suppose you have received my letter by this time. Well Dad I am out of news this time. With love and best wiebes I remain your affectionate son, A26437 Pte. W. Beattie, B Co'y, 6th Platoon, 50h Batt., god Brigade, 1 Canadians B. E. F., France. Mr. Dave Lougbeed is in receipt of the following letter from Pte. Percy Harris who will be remembered by many Winghamites. Mr. Harris was for some time an employee of the Western Foundry: 53082 Pte. P. Harris, C. Comp. 18th Battalion, 4th Brigade, tad Contingent, C.E.F. Army P.O.; London Jan. 10 .h, 1016 Dear Dave:—Many thanks for letter received a few days ago. You did not mention whether you reoeived my last letter that I sent. Well Dave we have been in the trenches quite a number of times now and it is not too bad at all in fact it is better in the first line than in the reserve doing fatigues, etc. Our company was in the trenches Christmas and owing to a kind of good feeling on that day both sides were continually exposing themselves and that gave us a good view of the enemy and as you are fully aware this trench war fare don't often give us a chance like that as often for days at a time in the trench. es we don't even see a single German, although we know they are there and we certainly let them know we are not idle too. Well Dave I am sorry I cannot give you much news as the strict censorship that is put on the letters now prohibits anything from getting through so l: guess I must close tbie letter now. Give my best regawde to all: with respect from Yours very sincerely, Pl nc't( HARRIS.
