Dear Fred
It is a very long time since I wrote you but a much longer time since I heard from Cariboo. I am now at the base (but expect to go up again any day) I left my unit in second week of Jan. I have been through hospital with trench fever & was sent here after I left hospital This is a smalish world it would seem at times. Eddie Armstong & Fred Paquettte reached this place from England the day after I got down they were halted just in front of my tent & as I hear them called tunnellers I went out to see if I knew any. Fred saw me & reconised me at once during a day or two we found in this place Gordon Barton of Clinton & a Swede from the Forks & the ever famous (now more so than ever) George Shaw
