To Reeve I .,ddk-k. line ll Today the patients and s7al of this hospital had grape jam for tea, That is the cause of this letter. You see, the jam we ate wass very special, it came nut of a tin with 0 Red Cross Sceicty- label and an it was writ- ten "A gift from the eitize.ns of Hensen Ontario. October sth. 1041 So I thought how nice it would be if I wrote and told you where the gift went to and what sortof people ate it, and at the same time thank you and the citizens of Hcnsnll and all kind helper's and friends. because we do indeed regard you as our very good friends. Most of us had never tasted grape jam before— indeed grapes over Isere are a teal lus:ury. When at all obtainable sick people and chil- dren have priority, so you may imagine with what relish we enjoyed that jam. I am a nurse and this is a maternity hospital, which is really a large country house, loaned by the owner to us for the duration of the war. The majority of our patients are wives of men serving with the army, nay or sir - THE SEAFORTH NEWS (ism, The Meet ore tial h leave the ,clang and clamor of the towns and cities of war- time Britain to come to us for treatment and est after which they often go back t0 their homes nr billetsrefreshed, park their laableo at •t nursers. and alt they go to work in Inc. tortes and workshops again, They are quite marvellous the way they keep carrying on steadfastand undaunted, perhaps withbit- ter memories or anxious about their men- folk out in Italy, Burma. or Normandy, but nothing stops them from' getting on with their lobs. I hope this letter reaches the right person—you see I :didn't know if the leading citizens of.. towns in Canada were called Mayors as they .airs iu England. I SAW Otto Canadian airmen in a bus the other day and with this letter In mind, I spent all the thirty minutes 1 was In the bus trying to persuade myself to ask them abort it— but I didn't manage it, because I was afraid they might just laugh at the silly question. It would be a: good idea, if, after the war is over, we had better opportunities to get to know each other's countries and method of local government, etc„ that we need never have doubt about snail simple matters. How- ever, I shall be vory glad if this letter does reach its appropriate destination and that you will accept our very grateful thanks, Nurse Sally Blanchard, Stockeld Park Hos- pital, N'\4altherby, Yorkshire, England.
