- [Upper left:] Copy [Centre:] Dear Father & family [Upper right:] France 19/2/17 [Below "19":] 26 I've [here?] had several letter from home & feel a bit ashamed for not having answered earlier - But yesterday I recieved the tidings, glad tidings about old Dan - - - By Jove, I'm simply overjoyed! - Just as I know you are. It's the best news in years - it is simply great. I'm not more than a big days march from the house of his fiancee & I feel tempted to jump a freight into that town, for a day, to make the acquaintance of our future sister-in-law. I'll bet she is a "bit of alright" as Dan would say, for he's got excellent taste, has Dan. But what beats me is the circumstances under which it all happened! - the pre-arrangements & businesslikeness of fit, which alone would have been enough to cause failure where a Destrube is concerned, under ordinary luck. & so I say "Three Cheers for Mme Beaurain"! And he has to be in Boulogne (according to your letters) last Saturday; I could have been to see him. Were passes granted. Yes, it's grand news & I shall write him right away. Thanks for cough drops -De - glad to say my cold is much better now. The feverishness has gone & I cough much less. The cold spell has broken up & we now have ordinary winter weather for which poor old Guy & Paul must by very thankful - very best love - affectionately signed Georges [Right, lower third of page:] France 22/2/17 [Below "22":] 26 Dear Pumps I forgot to say in my last letter that I was broke. Have been so for quite a long time & have been living on pay. I was'nt paid while in [Harfield?] & I am only paid 5 p here. I had thought it best to wait till I joined Guy & Paul but I am doomed to be here for a long time yet. Another chap from our tent is developing & I expect he'll go to hospital tomorrow which will mean another 3 weeks for us here (& more if another case breaks out) oh hell! I cannot make a long letter of this, there is nothing to say: Life in this isolation camp is one dead monotony & I find I cannot for the life of me make anything of it. Here is my new address: Pte. L.G.D. no 50512 2nd Royal Fusilers Tent 53 - Segregation Camp A.P.O. 5.11 - BEF France - Georges -

- [Upper right annotation:] Edmonton 21/10/14 g 11 Dear old Paul, Has this not been a farce from beginning to end. When we got to Vegreville on our way to Edmonton to fix up Guy's [oil?] business it was our intention to go straight on to London to join you. That is why I sent the cable. When we got Edmonton we were told by the highest officer that they have just recieved instructions that the second contingent would mobilise instantly. And here we are still, not yet mobilized. Of course it is absolutely certain that they will do so sooner or later but we did not reckon on this delay, so we are determined to wait no longer than Monday 27th October. Of course we would save much money by <del>w</del> waiting as I have explained before but we are getting so disgusted and fret so fiercely at the delay that we will go in spite of all unless something happens before Monday. We could kick those blasted officers who told us this, and still more those down East who are responsible for not giving out the mobilization order. No one can understand why the orders don't come. Sam. Hughes, Canadian War Minister, has seen' Kitchener and has had time to have long since cabled the orders here. The situation now is -- official report that 10,000 infantry will be mobilized right away and shipped over in December to England. That was a week ago, and the officers have been expecting the order hourly. There are dozens in th same situation as we are, but much worse off because they have been waiting here without work and no home here, waiting in most cases since the 1st. Contingent went away - two months ago. -- and at their own expense, of course. Be we can't wait any longer Paul, so keep the berths open awhile yet. We have done quite a bit of drill. Give our love to all the dear ones and best love to yourself In great haste, Georges
