Dear Mrs. Prentice— Here I am once more tq give you a few lines, As you must already 'know I am now in Italy and as us- ual I am wishing I were somewhere else, but by the looks. of things we may not be here too long. I hope not anyway. It is, sure no place for a white man. Of course the country is a little war torn and this is the rainy season that all helps -to make it worse. I have had .the pleasure of seeing (blocked out by censor) the Ancient Roman city. It was built in 62 B. C. and was destroyed by an earthquake and later by the great erruption of Mount Vesuvius, I. don't thinlc it is spelled right but you know what I mean. At any rate it is sure a marvellous place and some of it is as good as when it was built. I have also been through and many other places. They call it sunny Italy but I think they should have called it muddy Italy., On the way to Italy I met Lloyd Westlake and was it ever good to see m, We sure had a lot to talk about. is looking good and he has grown lot taller. Well, I guess this year I will .spend Christmas in Italy and like many ore wishing II could be :home, So, 1 you give my 'best wishes' for a rry Christmas and: a Happy New ar to everyone in Bayfield. I have 'ten about all I can think of for time so will says long. Yours as ever Bass Clark Lloyd Scotchmer, Charles Gemein- ardt Leslie Elliott, - Miss E. Cahn. non and Mrs. D. Prentice, Sidesmen, nt.

Dear Mrs. Prentice and Bayfield` Community Fund -- I am dropping you •a line to thank you for the nice Christmas box you sent lite. I received it Dec, 23 and I sure appreciate your kindness. I received another 300 cigarettes last week. That is the second box I. got. It sure doesn't seen like Christmas over here. It is very mild and no snow at all. We had a very nice Christmas dinner though. The officers, served us, which was very nice, But I hope we will all be back 'home for another Christmas, Well I wish you all a happy New Year and thanking you all again for your ,kindness. I'll say bye-bye for now and good luck Joe. (This was written by Pte. F. 3. Wild) • 19-12-43 Bayfield Community Fund Bayfield Ontario. Dear Friends I ani writing this letter to try and thank you for the parcel which I re- ceived yesterday. It sure was swell and will be appreciated. As I have mentioned before I hope the rest of the boys appreciate the parcels and cigarettes as well as I do. It seems everything we- get is just what is needed most, and usually hard to get. I have already mailed the card which was enclosed in the last cigarettes, and came the same day as the parcel. I suppose that you will get this letter at least a month ahead of the card. However it is written with the same impression, trying: to thank you. I haven't enjoyed the time we have spent here as well as the last place we were stationed but maybe the next place will be better. On closing I wish everyone a Happy New Year. K.
