quarantine Husband got the measles so the whole lot of them have to put in ten days in the quarantine camp. Col Bolt, Major Dennison Capt Brookes, Capt. Richards and Rolly Thompson are in the 16th and quite a few of the old 2nd CMR there are only about a dozen or so of the old lot left in France now. I saw one of boys that was on the Machine Gun with me. Beech Causton from Keremeos he was on leave they have had a pretty tough time of it last winter & this spring. Betty is to be married on the 17th next Tues. up in London. I tried to get leave but could'nt make it. They are awfully tight with leave for some reason or other. I think they try to make a fellow so sick of this country that he will be glad to go back to France
