Mr. Batho of the Manning Equipment Depot is trying to purchase a washing machine suitable for the ship's voltage and when he does he will send it direct to us, and I shall let you know when we receive it. I can assure you that it will be greatly appreciated. As for the apples, we received them in good shape one week ago, just a few hours before we sailed and so they were doubly appreciated.

In one box we found a note from a Mrs. F. A. Collinson, RR 1, Sardis, B.C., and so I have written a note to her also. Our ship's company seem quite happy and they are all very keen.

A fine group of chaps. The officers, too, are as fine a group as I have seen in any corvette. All but one are married and their ages vary from twenty four to thirty four. We have a pup and a little kitten on board, both about three weeks old. They have a great time playing with each other, and the ship's company take quite an interest in them.

Again may on behalf of the officers and ship's company, express our sincerest thanks for your very much appreciated gifts. Sincerely, C. R. COHGHLIN, ALieut. Commander, RCNVR Commanding Officer.
