Citizens of Clinton:
I really don't know how to express
my thoughts and show you how I ap-
preciate your kindness by sending cig-
arettes and ,other parcels containing
almost everything a soldier needs.
I was certainly surprised to receive
your two parcels and thanks a mil-
lion. -
Well friends, all I can say is that
every fellow who received the same
as I got from you, will appreciate it in
the same way. It sure makes it more
like Christmas and you can almost
forget the war.
I hope you will excuse this short
note but I wanted to thank all of you
in remembering me; who wits once

Dear Sir:
To -day I received a letter dated
Nov. 11th, advising ine that a parcel
had been forwarded to me separately,
along with Christmas wishes express-
ed on the card.
k or all this I thank the citizens of
Czinton and hope that my record
i.rer here may justify their interest
in my behalf. I do not know who sent
the letter' but it was signed as from
the Citizens of Clinton, Ontario. I
have lived most of my life in Clinton
and have tried to serve the coinntunity
in various capacities in years gone
by. These services have been render-
ed freely and voluntarily and appre-
ciatively from my standpoint and
again I thank you all for the interest
you have shown me in sending me a
Christmas parcel. I have not receiv-
ed it yet, but if I never do, I am still
grateful.
This war is going to end in the way
you are ell praying for, whether I re-
main to .see the finish of it or not,
and wishing you all a Mery.Ghrist-
mas and a Happy New Year. I re-
main,
