Somewhere in Prenee.

Dear Miss Passnaore,— •
Please excuse mY a-PPat-
ent: audacity in addressing you thus,
but to -day I received a pair of socks
which creme to me through the 'Can-
adian War Contingent AsSOCiltiori and
in these same Rooks I fo•ind a 'note,
which 1 enclose. ,nrd which will ex-
plain the liberty 1 have taken in!
writing, and T wish to thank yon from
the bottom of my heart. fort ?he hind
and patriotic thought that prompted
you to send such useful and 'comfort-.
nble !articles to ns soldier boys, "Do
you know" your gift ewes most accept-
able for the weather has been, (and
in foot is now horrid) and the water
in the trenches is already inches above
our boot tops. what it will, be like
before the' winter is over I cannot
tell, but the.prospects are gloomy for
Dry Feet.'
It's so nice to know. that the Ladies
at home bar such an interest in us
and try to make things as comfortable
for us as possible, and believe rtie your
whole efforts are everywhere apprec-
iated, and the receipt ot'such: a gift as
yours. takes us back to our "Mn Fire-
sides" in far away Canada, and which
a, good many of those who are out
here will never see again, but we look
at it in the light of what does it
matter providing we are .successful in
protecting those who are dear to 'us
at home from the ruthless enemy,
that confronts us this very day.
Thanking you again for your useful
and lovely gift..
1 am yours sincerely, '
