DEEP STREAM CAMP.
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir,—l want to express ray thanks to Mrs Marshall Macdonald. I have been here since the beginning, and she always brings something to cheer the boys up. Her job is none too pleasant, but she gets through it cheerfully. Our life is a bit dull here, but she and the Rev. Mr Watson help to brighten things up. The work is very hard; the wages are based on such a scale that you have to do your utmost to make 10s a week. I wish some of the officials in' charge would give us more; then we could provide for ourselves. Nobody wants charity. Then, again, we work on Saturday till 12 o’clock, and our time is occupied washing, darning, and knitting all day on Sunday. Once again I thank Mrs MacDonald for what she has done for. me.—l am, etc., Happy in Spite, January 28.
