THE CANADIAN PACIFIC OCEAN SERVICES LTD. MANAGERS AND AGENTS FOR CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY OCEAN STEAMSHIP LINES. THE ALLAN LINE STEAMSHIP COMPANY LIMITED. RMS -2- I am very sorry that I was not able to get down to see you again before I left as I had fully intended to, but you know what a rush these always is at the last. This is rotten paper, am using a rotten pen and the writer is a rotten writer, so you will have to excuse scrawl Miss Russell. I hope that everything is going along as smoothly as ever in the library and will you please remember Geoff. and myself to Mr. [?field] and all. I hope that Mr. [?field] is quite well again and that the rest of the staff is in O.K. form. I can tell you it is a treat handling this [navy?] to what it was on a troop ship, but for myself I would much rather be going up the gorge in a canoe. No more news as I will close this time. With my best wishes to all. Very sincerely yours. Gustaez
