cut it down to five days and about thirteen go a week out of the brigade instead of seventy five. Tomy Carew is back again from the hospital but he is not looking very good.

I haven't paid Fulton yet but I will as soon as I can get at the paymaster.

I saw the black mare that Charley still used to have the other day but she is looking like a scare crow but most of the Canadians horses are looking fine you can tell an Imperial horse from a Canadian one a mile away most of those Englishmen never saw an animal in their natural lifes before.

Well Mother I think I will stop there is not much news to tell you. I am as well as can be expected and I am quite sure that I won't catch the measles or any other thing that would take me back to the base for a while. With heaps of love,

Your loving son, Price
