Dear Mother,
Just received a letter
from VV, the first I have received from any of you for at least two
months. I have wrote several times but
addressed them all to the La Claire so goodness knows if you have received them
or not. Since last writing, we have
changed our location again, and are now back in the civilian belt again and
believe me it is a treat to see somebody else other than soldiers all the
while. By VV’s letter she seems to have
grown tired of teaching and is preparing to go home again. It’s not for me to say but really I think she
is foolish. To be away from home for a
while would be a good experience for her, and one that would do her no harm,
but after all she is no more anxious to get home than I am, but there is no use
me talking of home for awhile yet. All
the married men of the first contingent are not home yet, so there is very
little prospects of the rest of us going for some time yet.
Have you heard anything about
Harry Richmond or any of those fellows joining, or does this conscription bill
affect them. You know Mother that was
the reason he got married I believe. Oh
yes have you had any more friends telling you lately that I am married. That really was the joke of the season. Mother when I tell you all about it you will
certainly have to laugh, but I hardly think it was such a joke to you at the
time. Just wait until I see Newman. Well Mother I must close now. Tell Dad and VV
I am quite well and like France considerable better this time than in 1914
and 15. I will close now Mother with
Love
Chas.
