125^th Batt.

Dear Mary and all the children

It was a fine site to see the fields on the hill sides, like [inslade?] quilt or oil cloth they are cutting some oats, one place just past the Ille of Man oned by some Americans was covered with purple heather, grain and grass fields of different sizes, we got off at 7 P.M. the houses are very bad for the poor, in long stuffy rows, it makes me mad and the farm houses are quite low but the horses and sheep look like canadian it seems funny to have the trees so short, but every thing to suit people houses cows sheep and railway cars very small, we make bunks out of [?] pieces and 3 boards and one more blanket, I am out of money but hope they will pay us some in 2 or 3 days have to get out of here

bye bye
with lots of love
Roy

P. S. We road all night on the train we could see some of the farms befor it got to dark they certainly farm good. no wire fences all hedges, it rained for a minute or two 3 or 4 times the rest has been fine and sunney washed some shirts and towels last night in good hot water our meals are not good yet, hope you got your money, I think if you get a good big gas heater for the front room you will save lots of work this winter, I may go to London on a pass in a week or so, but everything is dear in England are our folks with you yet if you people would write every day why I would get some of the letters any letters follow the Batt from place to place some got letters on boat some of the 84^[th?] are here yet and were [Spilled?] yesterday we may stay here untill winter
