Darling Mother, Father + Sis

               It is certainly a hard job concentrating my mind even long enough to write a note. The way things stand I should be feeling glad and happy, but to-day I am more home-sick than I have ever been. I suppose every day will seem like a week now until I get home again.

               I met Jimmie Davis the other day. He is in the camp here and I was surely ­surprised to see him. We have spent a couple of evenings together and expect to spend some more. He is looking fine and he says he never saw me looking better. I hope he gets a chance of seeing more of England. That this before he is sent home. This is a desolate place only a few miles from the coast and is about the loneliest place I have ever struck and I have been in some coo-coos.

               I cannot understand what is the matter with my mail it is weeks since I have had a Canadian letter and believe me dears I just live on them. I suppose some of these days I will be getting a bunch.

               I suppose there was a great celebration in London on the 11^th I would have liked to have been there but believe me dears we’ll celebrate in a few months.

               Hope you are all well. I am sure A1 although I am classed D1.

               Remember me to all

                              Your loving son + brother
