of the B.C. University, whose name may be familiar to you, is the supervisor for this area. I offered my services in connection with the classes and am now instructor for the shorthand class for this camp (South) two nights a week.

We have a bunch of boys interested in all the classes and I enjoy my sessions very much. All I want is to be of service and when my time comes to go over to the Land of Somewhere I'll do the best I can to get there. For the present I am being held here on account of the class.

Sometime ago I ran into Eustace Bidlake in this Reserve. He is looking fine. I haven't seen him for two weeks now & am not sure whether he has been moved again or not. I am in touch with Cecil Lowe in France, who is now on the spot where "business is booming" and I'm sure his experiences are interesting. They have been in several scraps but safely protected thus far & we all hope soon to return to that famed spot yonder overseas beneath the Western sky. I have run up against a number of old Victoria boys here and there and its nice to renew old acquaintances.
