Gentlemen:
Very sorry to have delated so
thug in ackuowledging the receipt of
your gift of 300 eigs, )which I
received on the 10th of .Sept., but 'I
know that you fellows will realise
that it Is not always convenient or
possible to write at "just any old
time" but anyway, here I am with
a moment t'r.spare so thanks a lot,
cigarettes, are always app:eeiatesl
over here even. if we do get our.
weekly ration, which consists of
fifty ('Limey) smokes.
I guess you read more of :Me war
situation, than the Censor would
ever let me write, so I will leave it
to the newspapers to carry on but
the war situation looks very good
for us on till fronts, soy maybe' the
boys will be home for Christmas yet
(J won't say which Christmas).
The weather - leas turned consider-
ably cooler over ]fere hut we are
well clothed, and 'well fed, so have
really nothing toonomplain, about. I
met Russ Fox a couple of weeks
ago, he had ;just come out of - the
lines for a rest after his, first' en•
gagentent; but he is looking excep-
tionally well • and seems to' be
getting along OJ .
Our boys have been on the move
9ailrly steady . altho' the weatherman
macre us mark time nor a feta days,
then we tante bank •tor a week's
west but these rest periods all seem
too short, oh well I guess` the job
would • neves' get finished if we all
.stayed in rest camp. At times; our
artillery barrages plus the bombers
in action makes one. wonder how in
hell the ",Terry" can stand it at. all,
it sure must be hell on the receiving
end this is a good example of the
saying (801' us) that "it is better to
give than to receive." Wei Gentle-
men I trust that all members of the

think most of us agree that as far as
location is concerned there is .net
much to be desired. On the South
Brarch of the Maitland river, it
gave promise of .liberal - water
power and nag surrounded by dell
virgin soil. This was evidently the
opinion of Mr. Wm. Ainley who
.selected it for his home in 1852. He
was a native of Yorkshire, England,
corning to Canada with his parents,
John and An'te Anley when 8 years
p$ age„and.settling in the teem of
Port Hope. Later, he lived in
Peterborough and in the townships
of Fullerton and . Logan. While
living in Logan, he explored parts of
Huron :County and chose the spot
where he afterwards settled, lived
' and died, and- which is now in the
corporation of Brussels ,as his
future residence. He made a small
clearing, erected a log shanty and
returned home, coming back the
next spring to burn, off his clearing
and ;plant some potatoes. Again
returning to his home in Logan
Township, he persuaded a number
o'f his neighboure to accompany him
to his now home which he name in
and occupied Nov 1, 1853.
Thos. Halliday had moved in and
occupied a lot on the Morris side -
o£ the load a„few :clays - previously
but had not yet got hie shanty
erected. During that fall nearly 30
families arra"ed and settled at lesser
or greater distances, but all within
what was looked upon as the same
neighborhood, though Mr. Ainley
and Mr. Bethany were the only ones
fora long time within what is the
present village. ,
Less than two years later, the
place had assnmed ; 'the air of a
promising settlement and Mt'. Ainley
laid off what is now the south east
(pusher 'of the village 'in a' town
plot and named it after Himself
"Ainleyville."- It carried this mane
until its incorporation during the
year 1872, though the official route
of the Post Office was "Dingle," On
