MY DEAREST EM: A few more lines, hoping they find all in the
best of health and everything going on all right. I received
your parcels all right. They were a treat and came in good
condition. How are the boys getting along? Awfully sorry about
Hector but hope he is all right again, poor chap's been having a
hard time of it. How are Gordon and Frank. Tell them I was
asking for them. I guess the Beastie has grown quite a big chap.
Thanks for J. Birnies' address. I will drop him a card some time
but you see I can only send two letters a month. Jack wanted me
to write to the lodge but I can't see how I can manage it. Em,
lass, don't send me any clothing as I will manage all right.
Col. Farquhar's wife is going to send me out some and Major
Gault is sending tobacco and cigarettes so I will be all right.
I had a parcel from Bob with a shirt and some eatables; also one
from Jean at Blacktop and one from home. We are always on the
lookout for them. Have you had any word from Mina? I've had
letters from them all. We are having rather cool weather. I sent
a post card to G. Nelson; I don't know if he ever got it but you
can ask him when he comes up. Em, what are you doing about the
house? Are you getting it fixed up or are you coming over home?
It would be rather late this year to come over but please
yourself; only let me know what you are doing. Is George still
in Canada? Jean was expecting him to drop in any time. He has
been very good to me ever since I landed first in England. I
will never be able to pay her back. I can't give you any news
as I don't know it myself. Don't wait on a letter from me before
you
