Dear Aunt Lily,

Once again I made a trip to Medicine Hat and back and did not get down to see you, but we had such wet weather in Alberta that I was kept longer on my place than I expected, but we are moving to Camp Hughes to the East of Brandon tomorrow and I will have a better chance of getting around some week end. I found conditions very favourable in the West & if we don't have too much wet weather I guess there will be another crop.

Mother just received a letter from Lou saying he was having a lot of trouble. The noises are so great in his head he has to dope himself. The doctors are making further X-ray examinations & hope to relieve him soon. I am trying to get mother coaxed into making a trip across to see Lou, and if she does not do that to make the trip West next month, but she may not do either. It is 4:30 a.m. so you can see I am not lazy. I am on guard duty and make the rounds every two hours, and have been writing letters filling in my spare time. This job lasts 24 hours.

I hope this letter finds you all well. Everybody is getting along fine at home and I am doing the same here.

Best of wishes to all. My address will be:
B Company, 203rd Batt.
Camp Hughes, Man.

Your nephew,

Cecil
