Somewhere in France Dec 6/17.

Miss Nettie McNaughton,

Dear friend, -

Received your very
welcome letter and should
have written sooner. Am
away behind with my
correspondence, but do not
forget my friends in
Canada.

Well I suppose
everybody is talking
about conscription
and the election. We
supported the union
government almost
to a man out here.

Write soon.

Wishing you all a "Merry Xmas.

Dave.
