We extend our best wishes for a happy and prosperous life. Arrangements have been made! whereby the ordinary rate of two 3: cents per 'ounce applicable to all E letters sent from Canada to the: United Kingdom. will apply toi letters addressed to British andg Canadian trOOps on the continent. The rate on ordinary letters from , Canada for the continent is five : cents for 'the first ounce, and three cents for each subsequent ounce, so that this extension of the two cent an ounce. rate to letters addressed to our soldiers on the continent. is a decided reduction in favor of correspond- ence going to the soldiers. l #74"‘W _' - MEN H'N 1 ~i-W. v) s. ~.~v. .- : About eleven o’clock. all sat: ’down' to a very dainty lunchâ€" 'eoln, the first course being a: ,very liberal supply 01" oysters: either stewed or raw, to suit the individual tastes.
