Three letters relating to the taxes owed on a property owned by Private Charles C. Slatford, 37th Batallion, of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The first letter, dated July 10, 1916, is addressed to Mr Stephenson in the office of the Secretary-Treasurer in Red Deer, Alberta. Private Slatford inquires as to why the Red Deer Civic authorities are attempting to dispose of his property due to unpaid taxes while he is on active duty. The second letter, dated July 12, 1916, is addressed to Private Stalford’s father to inform him that the Red Deer civic authorities have been instructed to direct their reply to him as Private Stalford will likely be away before a reply reaches him. The third letter, dated July 26, 1916, is addressed to E.H. Slatford Esq. (Private Slatford’s father) in London, England, from A.J. Stephenson of the office of the Secretary-Treasurer in Red Deer, Alberta. This letter states that the office was not aware Private Slatford had enlisted in the army as they had no notice, but his father can rest assured they will protect the property until after the end of the war. Also included in this small collection is a souvenir menu from the Empress of Britain steamship with Private Slatford’s name written on the back, an Empress of Britain sailing log, and an envelope addressed to C.C. Slatford Esq.
