Dear Samuel Perksons,

I am writing this letter in hopes that you will receive it.  Holidays are coming soon.  The kids and I are doing quite well.  Although that doesn’t go for everyone around here.  Government’s really taking action, taking away such things as freedom.  But on the bright side economy is doing well now that the munitions board is in effect.  No more jammed weapons, or soggy boots for you.  You must be happy.  Makes me more relieved that you will be more safe.  Although you can never be safe when you’re a part of the war.  But it’s your choice and I support you, many others volunteered because of the lack of employment, or simply because of patriotism.  It helps me to think that I am not the only wife alone in this. The munitions board over here in Canada is taking effect now.  I’m so very glad they decided that Sam Hughes wasn’t doing it justice.  Here in Canada food prices are dropping, makes it much more affordable for us three at home.  Although the government did raise the taxes .  Women are getting more involved now.  It’s nice to have more to do throughout the day.  I usually find myself worrying about you.  But, now that I have a job to do my minds at ease during most of the day.  I’m working in the factory.  Not a pretty job for a woman like me but it will do.  On top of that women are allowed to vote federally now.  Now that I have my say I feel considered as a part of something bigger.  Jackson and Erin miss you dearly.   They talk about you a lot and wonder what it’s like to be in your position.   Let me just say they are very proud of you, as I am too.  Christmas won’t be the same without you.  But we will get through it just like we always do.  You know they all said it would be a quick war but it ain’t seem to turn out that way.  I should probably let you go now.  I’ll write you in a few months, this sure does cost a few to send it over to you.  Stay safe.  We love you always.

Love Your Wife,

Eve.
