If life is the result of stimuli, believe me we ought to know what life means in a country where you are called on to create every day something, big or small. On the other hand, if life consists of the multitude of things one possesses, then Labrador should be graded far from where I place it, in its relation to Philadelphia. A thousand thanks for coming so far to give us your good message of brotherly sympathy. Yours sincerely, WILFRED T. GRENFELL.
