My dear Sister.

Here I am again in the neighbourhood of "Willie" and having a rare old time. It's Sunday and it does'nt look like if, everything is going on just the same as on any week day. I received your last letter as I was leaving my. Last billet for the trench, I am glad to hear your all in your usual and I hope that everything will go well till we meet again.

I saw D.J. yesterday he is as usual spinning the yarn to everybody that listens to him. I have'nt seen Callum for a couple of days but I think he is still in the land of the living.

I had a letter from John some days ago and it looks as that he cant be home this summer. I hope anyway that things will go on without a hitch this summer. I also heard from Alick some days ago, he thinks his regiment will spend this summer in England. I never heard from D.C. since I came out. It seems that D. Macnier is at home again, its very lucky for him getting off as easy twice. I hope his mother wont be worried by young Miss Campbell as was the case before.

We're having nice weather now after a heavy rainfall that lasted 3 days its miserable to be in the trenches during wet weather, the fellows that has been here last winter must have suffered a lot of hardships. It looks as very much like spending another winter out her. I doubt if the war will be over in a hurry. If I'll like the future as well as the past it wont bothr me any although I feel sure that the sooner its over the better for everybody.

I was very much surprised to hear that Mrs. Laing was asking for me, I used to go to school with her husband when I was in Bayhead. I wish to be kindly remembered to her in return.

Now Mary I think I better come to a close. I'll send a P.C. now and again

With kindest regards to each and all

Yours affect Brother
