Following are a number of let­ ters received by the institute and War Service Committee, addressed to Miss Gladys Luker; We understand the institute are making ready to pack boxes for overseas again soon. We wish to thank all for the nice boxes you have sent to both Alvin and Helen, I know they appreciated them so much oyer there and we did also. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. G, Bell. (Enclosed in this letter was a gift of cash to be used for this cause),* * * * Received your letter, also tliu parcel sent by the Committee, I want to thank everybody who donated towards making this parcel, It real­ ly shows that you have some friends at home, The parcel arrived intact and everything in it was in Al con dition, So, again thanking you for everything, I remain Allan Soldau * * * * Just a few lines in answer to your letter dated March 28, which I received today. Very glad to hear from home, especially such quick service as the news is still fresh. Most of the letters take from 3 to 5 weeks, this only taking 8 days. Glad to hear the folks back liomu are fine and well. Very glad you told me in your last letter Ed. 'Noi- jninton was home. Someone told me he was over here and we have been trying to locate him these last three months, but no success. You might tell him I was asking about him. Well, the weather is lovely here now—really is starting to get warm. Most of us have a tan by now ana will be as brown as the Arabs (minus the dirt) by July. With regards to the parcels, i haven’t received the Christmas and February ones; in fact have only received the lOctober one of the bunch you mentioned. The only par­ cel I received for Christmas was my sister Grace’s, posted in October sometime, but no doubt have more important things to contend with than mail, and will receive them all in due time. The mail is starting to come in a little now, mostly October and November parcels. Please remember me to all the boys that come back home especially Donald McKaig. He was a very good friend of mine. We spent three years together and I miss his company a great deal. Will close now hoping to hear from you again soon, Rusty Brock. * * * * I’m finally getting around to answering your letter. I've been moving around a lot the last week and a half, and haven’t been settled enough to write. I’m settled again though, so here I am. I received a box from the Institute about two weeks ago and I enjoyed it very much. A few friends and myself did ample justice to the contents, and when we all came back there will be a lot of stories to tell and plenty that won’t (or can’t) be told. The leaves we get give us a great opportunity to see a great deal of the country, and there is a lot to see too. This country excels Canada in many ways but taken all together I'd far rather have Canada and that isn’t because my home is there. Your choice of contents foi’ the boxes is very good—razor blades, writing paper, envelopes, etc., of course, the cookies aucl candy are "tops.” I’m always happy when i get a parcel. We chaps get treated pretty well anyway. I’ve enjoyed myself pretty well over here ana am still doing so. The army is still sending me on courses and I don’t object a bit. So good-bye for now and thank you, the Institute and War Service Committee for everything. Jack Bell.
