Dear Friend:-
The time of year has come again to wish
our friends the "Old, Old Wish" - "A Merry Christmas
and Prosperous New Year."
Though I may not have the pleasure
of meeting you I want you to feel that I am your friend
and interested in your welfare. If you continue to live
up to the ideals as laid down by your old friend, Mr. Hille
your life cannot be other than a success.
Canada is truly a land of promise, and
the years to come will be full of opportunities for the
fellow willing to dig in and give his best.
Your friends in the "Old Land" are watching
you progress with interest, and it is a great joy to them
to know that so many of you are doing well.
Remember I shall be glad to hear from you at
any time, or better still have the pleasure of seeing you.
The staff join me in wishing you "A right
Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year."
I am,
Your sincere friend,
Ben Johnson
