Dear Aunt Lily

Received your letter of Sept 10th and glad to hear from you. If you are at all uncertain of my address Army Post Office, London, will always find me. From all accounts Cecil, Robert and Duff must have had a big time along with Jean at the farm, would like to have been along myself, the change would have been very welcome. However, I am here and may be on this side of the pond for some time yet. The rain has set in again and conditions will be frightful on the firing line once more for the third winter campaign.

Sorry to hear that the crops are not as good as expected. They did poorly here as well on account of so much rain. Have not heard from Cecil just how our country in Alberta made out, it would be a surprise if they got too much rain up there, it is usually the reverse.

Am still suffering from concussion in the head and this miserable wet weather which has set in makes it worse and I'm far from feeling like my old self, however I'm not complaining.

Will close, hoping all are well at home, with love to all.

Your nephew,
Louis
