Somewhere in France Oct 14/1916 Dear Sis:- Received your epistle dated sometime in September and was sure glad to hear from you I did not see Oliver while in England on account of being away from the camp to the ranges and do not think he is in France to date I cannot tell you very much Sis if anything but can say I am at the Canadian Base Depot. I do not know exactly when I will be going to the line but anyway could not tell you if I did - so whats the use? Officially I don't know from what port we left England or where we arrived in France but I do know it was a humbly rough ride and that there was much sickness. The bunch I was with was detailed to clean the boat after disembarkation so of course this meant additional sickness. There were 310 of us come over as a draft for two batallions so we do not expect to be together for very long I have seen several old Brantford
