THE LITTLE BOOTMAKER OF FEATHERSTON
The following letter to the Editor comes from "The Little Bootmaker" of Featherston, whose now familiar uniformed figure iis regularly seen at the head of columns that make the long march over the Rimutaka from camp to camp:— Sir,—l was reading in your paper on November 16 that I was the pro.udest man in Wellington. I thank you for it, and I am proud to be a leader to tho dear soldiers that are going away, and to bo a great comfort to them at a' time like this, and I am very thankful for the great kindness of the military authorities, as it means a lot to them to think that they arc not forgotten, and to be with them in their long march over the Rimutaka, as it cheers them up, and I am thankful to bo spared to do something at a dreadful time like this. I do hope and trust that those that are staying back will come forward and join their comrades who arc going forward to give us freedom. 1 will do my duty to tho last for the soldiers, and may God bless them to win the battle. —I am, etc., F. V. RUTHERFORD.
