A LETTER HOME
POSTCARDS AWAITING OWNERS.
Six postcards lie ou the Editor's table —postcards from a soldier to loved ones anxiously awaiting them. But they bear no addresses. They were enclosed in an envelope which has- become damaged in transit, and v;hich apparently was ■ nol addressed—at any rate, no name or _ address appears on it. By further misadventure they passed into the hands of a local business firm,. Messrs. Gollin and/ Co., in company with a big sheaf of other correspondence, and the firm in question, has thoughtfully sent them on to us in tho hope that in some way we may be' ablo to bring them under the notice of those for whom they are intended. They are all in the same handwriting; some are signed "Daddy," some "Arthur," and they are addressed respectively to "Len," "Archie," "Ann," "Nell/' "Edna," and "Dorrie," and to all appearances are the letters of a father to his children. They were posted at Albany. Perhaps some of our contemporaries will publish these facts in tho hope that "Daddy's" postcards, dispatched while en route to the front, may reach those waiting for them.
