There are great changes in our battalion these days as there are so many casualties, I now have a Company and naturally many worries.

Francis[?] is now a Staff Captain and getting along fine, we see quite a lot of him as he is interested in the 29th.

How are things in Vancouver these days? Was terribly sorry to hear that B.C. had gone dry and what are we going to do?

Old Dowser[?Bowser] must be feeling sick these days and I was darn glad to see him get booted.

How is the baby crop getting along? Expect May and Greta have a couple of boys ere this.

Hear that John[?] is back in Vancouver
