Arrival of the Mounted Police

 

 

TRANSCRIPT

I received two bundles of papers which were very interesting. I don't think that Canada especially the West ought to go in for recruiting especially as the biggest province of Canada has only one Battalion actually at the front. There are also thousands of people who are eligible for active service swaggering about the streets of Great Britian. If Sam Hughes wants his 500 thousand men he should take them from each province according to their parilamentry representation. Seeing also that the Gilisians, Ruthenians, Ducabours and French Canadians do their share. If we are not nightly careful we will be overwhelmed by French Canadians and foreigners.

There is not anything else I can think of at present.

From your loving son

Keith
