 FRIEND DAVE LLOYD

 renci, and who volunteered some time
 last December, enlisting with the
 Canadians, writes his friend Dave
 Lloyd of Clifton the following letter: Dear old Pal:
 | T received your welcome letter a few days ago and sure was glad to hear from you and to get some news from Clifton and Morenci. This is fine country for scenery but rather too much rain to suit me after living in Morenci for so many years that a fellow wonders where all the rain comes from. It is few hours one day, more the next, and so on until the end of the week and then re- peated. I think the clerk of the weather ought to go 50-50 with Ari- zona.
 The two Armstrong boys have left for somewhere in France to do their bit to down the kaiser and his hire lings and expect to be on my way in two or three weeks to help to do the same thing. I think the next big drive is going to surprise the Huns, more so when they find out that l am in the Canadian regiment -how's that for you Dave? was sure sorry to hear of our old friend Dick Williams death, but the sum. mons will come to us all some day Now, Dave, write by return of mail if you can, as I wish to hear from you once again before I'll start to dare the submarines and then over the top somewhere in France to do my "bit'.
 Give my best remembrance to all at the carpenter and blacksmith shops and to all on your insurance rounds. I'll write again when the orders will be given to get ready for | our long journey from the Pacific | ocean to the English channel. l q hope that the district is prosper ous and without trouble We'll, so long now and good luck to you at | all times.
 Your Morenci friend, | Sapper W. A. Chisholm, No. 2S33, 9th Field Co.,, Canadian En- gineers, Vancouver, B. c.
