The following letter was received by Mr. Ernest Harris, of S.S. No. 3, 'Osborne, from Assen. in the Netherlands from a pen pal. Assen, June 28, Sunday. Dear Ernest: Last week I received your letter, It was very fine to receive so many letters from Canada. Indeed. I say letters, for together with yours I got 85 letters more. ,And therefore I answer your letter in this way. Now I am going to tell you something about Assen. Our native­ town has about 25,000' inhabitants; there are about 10 schools and 8 churches, There ,are also many shops, etc., so that there are many merchants ap'd tradesmen among the inhabitants. In the outskirts of Assen there are not many shops of course. We live in the Eastern part of the town. The surroundings of Assen ' " ' ' . there is much wood and heath (perhaps you call it moorland). Along the roads outside Assen there are farmhouses with meadows and fields. And now ’back to our house .again. My ' family consists and Mother, my sister years old), then I are indeed beautiful; of Father Eddie (16 0 follow brothers Roelf (13 years), (10 years) and John (5 Properly speaking there is also a fine German dog Which belongs to brother Roelf hag rabbits with young ones.

Now I’ll tell you about the liberation of 1945. We had heard the thunder of the guns already for* two days. Planes dived down all the day and damaged or crushed all German motor-cars, trains, etc., Thursday, the 12th of April 1945. The noise of the guns grows worse and worse. The fight came quite close now and we passed the night in the cellar. The worst moment was be­ tween 2 and 3 o’clock. A shell came down at the back of our house and one close in front of it. The shell fragments lay in our living-room. At half past six the first jeep drove through our street. You can understand how very glad we were. And' how delicious the first Ameri­ can cigaret was! Some minutes later the first tanks, kerry’s and cars drove into our town. Quick at ease the Canadians washed and then part of them drove on to Groningen. In the meantime the public buildings had been searched and the Germans captured. Now it was the time of the traitors who had assisted the 'Germans. They were fetched out of their houses and had to walk with their hands up through the streets of Assen, where they were hooted at by the people. It was not long before they had all their hair cut off. Some days afterwawrds the liberation was celebrated by splendid festivi­ ties. • Well, I am going to finish now. Later I’ll tell you what happened during the war in opr country, Of our sufferings and oui” under­ ground struggle.. In oui* town not many houses were damaged. Only 4 were burnt down.
