My Dear Aut.

Your welcome letter received
to-day and you have had a nice time with
all your visiters. you bet I miss the car
they have a few cars around here but they
are mostly for war purposes so there is
not much [chances?] of getting a ride.

About [Jim/fine?]. Reg and Ted would sooner
I was with the Canadians and I am of the
same opinion now that I have been talking
to the Australians and New Zealanders they
cant understand why I should leave the Canadians
but the long training in Canada pratically
ten months and the commission should be
taken into consideration. and the trip over
travelling 1st class instead of down in the hole.
But we hope the war will soon be over and then
we wont have to worry.

I suppose Reg is pretty busy these days I
haven't heard from him lately. I hear from Ted.
he has not seen Reg since he had leave.

I have my walking-out uniform now I
took some snap shots the other day and if
they are any good I will send you some.
the fellows say I look pretty fine in my uniform
It is made very nice too. Pretty tight
