I am sure you are in Pioneer what great & good work is going on, and you will be glad to help as you can. We have a fight on here but we shall win and in Whitchurch too & Markham too.
If I can give you any further light, drop me a line or call & see me.
Yours for God Above & Native land

Good idea to take a comrade with you if convenient but do not wait for anybody.
