to the Town Hall in costume rather
than to ring door bells and visit pri-

dressed too, and took part in the
games whichmade the party more
jolly. Mrs. F. Baker and Miss Finne-

all good, The prizes were War Sav-

London, England
Dear Mrs. Prentice.
and the Bayfield Community Fund.
It is such a treat to receive your
lovely pa3cel which contains such
lovely and useful articles and I say
thanks a million. I am ashamed of
myself for not writing sooner but
when I get through writing this let-
ter, it will just seem like a newspap-
er .
First of all I might start on the
parcel, so the first thing to do was
take the cloth off and save it for
pressing our uniforms, so you see how
handy a niece of cloth comes in, and
then open the box, well it was packed
so nice .and neat that I didn't liketo
disturb it, hut things in it looked too
good to leave g,ione, so 1• started, and
when I got through I knew I had en-
ough to fill niy•kit bag. And holy it
could be packed in that box I am•
still trying to figure, it out. So I must
say that Mrs. Prentice and Mrs. W.
Westlake are doing a wonderful job,
packing the boxes for the boys ov-
erseas, so we all thank you.
Now for my fourth leave Overseas!
and what a time! Well, I went to
Glasgow as usual and went out to
Loch Lomond and what a lovely day
I spent there, lots to do` and so many
girls to talk to. We find thein very
easy to get.along with and they get
awfully 'serious at times,. But that is
love for you. Then we came back to
our club at night and met new friends
and played lots of games which was.
quite exciting. We also had lots of
books to read so between the Scotch
people and our own boys, .we have
quite a time. We can also ride around
in Scotland all day for a penny so
you can see for yourself how much
a soldier will walk around up here.
I went and saw Ken Castle's good
wife and babyboy they are both fine
But she has not seen I{en for six
months so she hopes to see him soon.
Then I went to see the Grey Hound
Races .on Saturday and lost one quid,
blit it was worth it, There is lots to 'go
to and sometimes I wish I were at
three places at the same time, be-
cause the time goes so quickly. I
also spent my last three days in
London anti I went to the Beaver
Club and the first person to see was
Dick Weston 'and was he ever sur-
prised because he had walked by me
and, never 'spoke, So I said "Hello
Scruff" to act smart, but when • he
found out trio it was we had quite
a -balk and; then we met some more
boys from Goderich and it did feel
gond' to meet all those fellows.
My `churn and I walked down to
where lilre. Churchill lives and while
we were there we were lucky enough
to find Mr. Churchill just coming
from a meeting, so we had a very
good look at him and he had his
smile and fancy cigar as usual,
There is one more thing I forgot
to tell you about London is our un_
derground trains and they are very
useful and so many people use them.
But if you are not careful you come
back to the same spot from where
you started. And when I first/skat-
ed to ride in them I think I asked
the same question to ten different
people' so as to make sure of my next
stop, but I know the score now so
I try to help the next one.
So now I can say that 1 have spent
four leaves in this country and every-
one gets better. So as far as having
a good time, I think I ani doing fine
for myself and I know all ,the other
boys are, too. But it would be so
nice to be back at Bayfield but we
are over here to do a job and it is
going to take a while yet. But the
news is better every day so we all
hope to win this big struggle and
cone hone with Victory so that
every person may live a good life and
be happy.
Well I had better close this letter
and I say again, many thanks for
your lovely gifts which are so useful
to us. And I do hope that all the peo
ple in Bayfield are all in the best of
health. So I 'say cheerio and good
luck to you all. Bye Bye for now.
Your friend, Stue.
This letter was written by Pte. Stu-
art Sturgeon, son of Mr, and Mrs. E.
J. Sturgeon.
