They are truly three young, very talented Canadians and théir unâ€" affected and natural manner, to say nothing of their performance, is an inspiration to all young Canadians. I wish you would convey the thanks of the whola camp to all of the party as it was, to say the least, greatly apâ€" preciated, and it will be a long time before the men forget the wonderful entertainment put on for them by this group.
