My dear Grannie:

I don't remember writing to you lately so I guess it must be about your turn to get a letter.

Things are going on here practically the same as before except that the weather is dud and we don't do as much as we used to. This morning there is a very thick mist from the ground up. That is the way it is most of the time now and it is practically impossible to fly as we lose sight of the earth immediately we get off the ground.

It is nearly a week since I had any mail from Canada so I am expecting some any day now. Let me know how Dad is getting along. I depend on you for news. Take care of yourself and Fern.

We have very little news of the Halifax disaster. The papers only give very little about it. Let me know anything you can about it.

I am getting along O.K. and am quite comfortable. Go into town nearly every day as it only takes a few minutes. We had a little visit from the Gothas yesterday. They tried to bomb us but aimed very poorly and the nearest they got was about one hundred yards. This is the first time they have been over for a long time.

We haven't moved yet but may do so any day now.

Love to all,
Gord.

P.S. Just received a letter from Max. He says he has sent several cables and is on leave. He says he had a very nice letter from you; says Fern is quite well. He is getting along O.K. and says he will fly either D.H. 4's or H.P. They are both fine machines.
