in Nova Scotia, in fact three of my children are - bluenoses, while I hail from St. John, N.B.

Beside which, this is a matter which "makes the whole world kin, " at least the Allied World, the rest, I know, only rejoice in our suffering. So we are glad to do what little we can here, and long to do more.

Thanking you for the trouble you took in our behalf.

I remain
Sincerely Yours
Mary Farlinger
