- to "be attached to 3 care of ammunition column men. Judging from the row made and remarks passed some of them roust have been under the influence.
To our regret also the cook oar we had from the coast left us, and the grub from then on has been nothing to boast of.
Our private supply, (I mean the bunch( has been holding out fine so we have been better off than the rest.
Nothing of importance has oooured since we left Y/innepeg, except that we had a route march at Port William, The more I see of this side of the Rookies, the better I like the other. Last night at a small town called Schreiber a fine bunch of girls were down to the train. We stayed there about 15 minutes and enjoyed every minute of it.
Since leaving Schreiber we have been ten hours going 120 miles, so now we are about 10 hours behind. Snow has stopped now though, so we may be able to make up a bit of time.
We may possibly lay over at Ottawa tomorrow to have a route march and be inspected by Sam Hughes. Hope so for such a change would be very welcome.
Now about that cable when we arrive in t* old country. A bunch of us are going to go in on it, so as to save expense. We are going to send our future address too as it will mean mail for us about a month earlier. The cable will be sent to Marjorie and I want her to turn it over to Witham, the Y.M, Secretary, so that he oan notify a^l the folks on a list we are going to send him. By this way the expense will be praotioally nil as there are twenty or so ooming in on it. Thought I*d let you know about it now, as I might not find enough news to write a letter to Marjorie. Nothing very muoh happens on a trip like this you know.
Harold is out having a wash, and as I am in for one too (8,30 A.m.) will olose. With best love to all froip
Yours lovingly,
