Mr. Eedy:-
Dear Friend:-
I have got the Journal every week and I am very glad to get it I can assure you as there is quite a number of our boys like to see it as well as myself and as I have taken your paper for several years you can quite understand how I would feel without it. We are still here at St. Andrews, N.B., but we are expecting to leave at any time for overseas and very soon at that, but I will let you know when we get word for going. Enclosed please find one dollar for my paper. I am,
Yours Truly,
T. B. McGIVERN
