I think I am speaking for all the other boys from Richmond Hill who were over here when I say you did a very good job. Yours truly, Don Andrews. 4 August 12th, 1945._ Richmond Hill Red Cross Society. Dear Mrs. Wright:â€" Just a few lines to thank you for the 300 cigarettes I received yester- day. They are always appreciated and this time they are very oppOr- tune as I’m going on a 4-day trip sponsored by the Army. Life here in Holland is fine but not quite good enough to make, me wish to stay any longer than necess- ary. We are treated very well by the Dutch people. . I wish I could say I knew defin- itely how long it would be before getting back to Canada, but it’s stil‘. too indefinite and I’m sticking to the old phrase, “I hope to sec you all 'by Christmas.” Thanks again for remembering me and I wish you all the very best reâ€" gards for the future. As ever, George Plewmau. August 8, 1945. Dear Mrs. Wright:â€" Well, as I had nothing to do this evening I thought I had better do a spot of letter writing for a change. I received a parcel of 300 cigarettes from you about a week ago, so now I would like to convey my most sinâ€" cere thanks to you and your wonder- ful organization for the cigarettes. I have been moved to ‘The Hagze now, and since I have been up here I have seen Rotterdam and quite a few of the smaller towns in this area. These places up here are very nice cities with very many modern nonri- ments and stores. There is reallv some lovely buildings in Rotterdam and they are all made of this new kind of glass. . We have been having lovely warm weather over here these past; few weeks. We had it too warm here for over a week. almOst like the heat waves we get in Canada. I am going on fourteen days leave to Scotland on August 19. I have spent quite a few short holidays by the sea here in Holland and it is really grand. There is plenty of good swimming nearly any IilaCc you go here, and it is so much easier swimming- in salt water than in fresh water. I expect to get home some time before Christmas. but am not reallv sure yet. I have met a few of the boys from home over here, and we had quite a chat about the good old times we had in the old town. We hope to be all back in the same old torn again soon. Well I think this is about all for this time, but before I go I want to say to you and all concerned, thanks a million for the cigarettes. Hope to see you all soon. Yours sincerely, .ngn. P. Jarvis. June 10, 1945. To the Secretary:â€" Please express my sincere appre- ciation for the cigarettes which I have just received. This is just one of the many parcels you have sent me while overseas. When I say thanks a million I speak for the how; in this unit who also are indebted to you for your kind consideration. When I say these things they are based on what I have actually seen, and shared myself. Words cannot» express actual emotion, but we havc' always looked forward to those gifts which have brought cheerfulncss to us during the hours of anxiety, and which you have helped us share. Thanking you again and wishing you every success, I remain Yours sincerely, Harry E. Barrow. London, Mar 27, 1945. Secretary of Richmond Hill Red Cross Society. Dear Madam:â€" I must apologize for not being :i'nln to address this to you. However, not knowing name, I hope I am forgiven. I want to thank the society fo.‘ their generosity in sending the er:- arettes which I received Tlllll‘> 113:. and the grand work the society has done during the war.

Richmond Hill Red Cross Society: I wish to take this opportunity to thank the members of the Richmond Hill Red CrOss for the carton of elf:- arettes received today, Canadian cigarettes are really appreciated by myself and I am sure by all Canad- ians servmg overseas. Thanks again. Yours sincerely. J. A. ('rcari. Monday. June 1:2. 1345. Dear Secretary:â€" I received the cigarEttes that were sent; me_by the Red Cross. They urâ€" rived in perfect condition and linen- estly appreciate them. Please thank all members of the Richmond Hill Branch of the Red Cross for being so kind in sending me the cics. I'm hoping that I won't be over here long enough to receive any lllOT't' parcels but just now we are ursettled and don't know where we stand. 1 think it would be best if you didn't send any more parcels until everyâ€" thing is made definitely clear as to what is going to happen to us. Yours truly. Donald Andrews. Dear Friends:â€" Your very welcome 300 cigarettes were received for which please ae- ccpt my sincerest thanks. Peace is descending on troubled Europe but, believe me, your kindnesses are still ever welcome. Sincerely yours. J. Kouing. August i‘», 1945. Dear Mrs. Wright:â€" Many thanks for the Laura Sc- cords which came today. I notice you posted them in April but tkey went to the continent and back again. No. 2 Hospital was my original unit but I am now with 22. However, they are still fresh and very dcli‘ cious and not a bit worse for the delay. Dick, my husband. and I have just returned from leave. We had two weeks this time and went to Eire. Most of the time we spent at the Killarney Lakes and had a wonder- ful time. The Irish people are very gay and friendly. The scenery I'm sure must be the most bi‘iu'ifui in the world â€"â€" mountains and lakes. and best of all is the coloring which I could never describe â€" all never to be forgotten. THE LIBERAL.
