praying for his safety. God does hear our prayers on his behalf & he can protect. It was just lovely having my son Aleck home for another week furlough. He looked fine in ??ilts. His wounds quite healed. He is now at Thorne??? Barracks & finds the life monotonous. There are 25,000 Canadians there have [unintelligible] had a review for Major General Hughes & Sir Robert Borden the Canadian Prime Minister. I have a wedding the 22nd Sept. My youngest daughter Margaret is getting married. So you can imagine we are very busy with the necessary preparations. With every good thought & wish for you & yours.

Sincerely yours Jennie Elliot
