at Mylashett - a nice little parcel
from Edyth Mowbray, containing eats
and handkerchiefs. There is a great little
kid.

Wednesday night after we landed here
the Orderly Sergeant was carrying mail
and parcels for a quarter of an hour.
I got two parcels that night. The firt
one I got was from Bessie Morley. A
jar of jelly that was nearly taffy. Clare
Gowan, Percy Foster, and the two Malland
boys and I used it with our bread
and margerine for supper one night. There
were other eats, and a towel.

Then the parcel from you folks
arrived containing honey, jam, delicious
cake, tobacco, sox, etc. I would not
have known it was from you people if
I had not known your handwriting. You
placed no slip inside. Having a cold
which every Canadian Soldier in this camp
has, I went after the honey that night. The
sox I wore on the route march. I am sorry
