Feature Letter of October 29th, 2025
Quinlan, Dennis John
My darling Son.
Received your birthday Letter gram, with its lovely wishes, and what is most important for my happiness, to hear you are well.
With the same mail, I received your dear letter dated the 29th Sept. I am sure pleased some of the Canadian mail, has caught up with you and I know how very happy it must make you because there isn't a sure way to make me smile than a letter from you hearing you are well.
Yes dearest Jeepers will be receiving his "Wings" very soon now he expects in about 4 weeks certainly he looks remarkably happy and well....Last night, I listened to Roosevelt's speech, I really think they are putting their utmost effort in helping "Britain" and apart from openly declaring "War" with Germany certainly think they are with us a 100%.
Yes it seems the general opinion in Canada, that England should strike at Germany, but I have the utmost faith in Churchill, and consider, he knows his job.
Why Support Canadian Letters & Images Project
As we move away in time from past conflicts and as our veteran population declines, it becomes increasingly difficult for Canadians to understand the sacrifices that men and women made, both on the battlefield and on the home front, during wartime. The Canadian Letters and Images Project has been sharing their stories, and Canada’s story, for the past quarter century.
These are the experiences of Canadians as seen through their eyes and their words. This is history in the raw, without a lens of interpretation added through time. I invite you to spend some time reading their letters, seeing their faces in the photographs, or listening to an audio letter, to appreciate why their experiences must be preserved for now and for future generations.
Donations, large and small, ensures that The Canadian Letters and Images Project can keep this important content freely available for this generation and for future generations. Please help us to preserve their stories.
