The following are a few extracts from recent letters re'e ceived from Eugene Castle, who is in; England: "I have received the cigar- ettes and your newsy letter, and was more than delighted to receive them because the box sent last time war without cigarettes. I guess I will have to let the sharks in the Atlantic ocean smoke them for me as they may have gone down when the Canadian mail went down inJuly. I cannot find words to express my gratefulness and appreciation for the parcels, letters and, cigarettes which have come through to me. They are a God sendi to any of us over here who get them and I want to convey my appreciation and most sincere thanks to, you and the other members of the organiza- tion, I went to Scotland on a fourteen day leave, three weeks ago, and had, a lovely and enjoyable trip, The peo- ple used me like a King and they would have waited on rile handl and foot with their overflowing hospital- ity. I have been to. Glasgow and have seen many places, including Ilolyrood Palace and other ancient and histori- cal buildings. I will not get another leave until the New Year's but back up there will I. go if the weather will only let me. Today is cold and blustery and the wind sweeps over the fields and moors, a reminder of the play "Wuthering Heights." I may have a' chance to join up with a Mobile H-- tertainment Company whichgoer from camp to camp entertaining the troops and their headquarters are in a large city here. I would certainly Iike to try it as I have not been doing much lately ,as everything seems to be at a standstill. And I would like to be able to help those who need and want happiness, and help to keep up the main and vital resource, "Morale" I am no soldier as far as drill and'' com- bat .are concerned, and would like to be a good trouper of the stage like the thousands more that are doing it. This war must have that sort of rec- reation too and I am a worthy suppor- ter of it. Well do 3 remember the good concerts and Masquerades in Bay field! Those were the days and I sure like to be where there is a good time to be had! I do hope my visions of the stage will come true, 1 have a friend who is on the entertainment committee and is trying to arrange my transfer into the group, so'I will be able to do a heap for the War effort in .that way.As I said' maybe before the people are very kind to us and it is something to be honoured as they are always doing their best to make us feel at home over here. I do not want to go back until the War is over, as k want to -see it through, and I am having' a splendid time and like it too. I could tell you many exciting experiences and events,;+butthe eyes, of the Censor Board might read them and. I would not then be able to write so steadily again, because they must not find an error or uhneeessary state rent. AJ still tongue 'does make a wise head, especially in War time; as well as at any time. I have been well around England now, am going to northern Scotland when I can, and then possibly across to Ireland, as I want to see every place, while the opportunity still warrants the possib- ilities. How is Bayfield? And now it will soon be Fall Fair tiine,,then the Winter dances and parties will be going again. I have been to many, parties and' dances since I've been overseas and always have a good time Keep up the good work, the letters and parcels, are so much appreciated,. there is nothing like a good Canadian: smoke."
