December 22, 1916 pg5

P.S. Since writing the previous three
pages I have received your very welcome
letter dated Nov 28th. It sure is funny that
you did not receive one from Havre advising
I was leaving for the line.
You will of course know about me
being in the hospital but am O.K. now.
I did not advise Iona or the folks of
the fact until a week after I was admitted,
so no doubt in fact I know Iona knew
nothing about it from me, when your letter
reached her asking for information.
You know Sis I never tell them
anything that will worry them but being
there are so many Brantford boys over here
they write home and tell the whole thing.
I sure would like to catch hold of some
of those people. I don't think they would write
for sometime.
I was in hospital in England and never
advised Brantford at all, but in two weeks
time they knew more than I about it so whats
the use.
Hope Jessie is better but think a cold
may do Tom Still some good. Something
real cold or real hot.
