Paul's Cathedral, Buckioghann Palace,
the King's residence, etc. So you see l;
had a busy day. 1 will not a,tteinpt to
describe any as that would mean a
otter in itsself. That night at 11 p.m
I took the train tor Scotland. You
will no doubt, wonder why I went to
Scotland instead of Ireland, We are
supposed to got a free pass when we
are over here three months, so 1
thought I would wait for that.. They
aro not giving very many passes now,
so I may not get It, I arrived in Glas-
gow the next morning about $ a,m.
That day I visited the National Art
Gallery and the Brittanic Gardens,
That night 1 stayed with some frieade
of one of the feilowe I was with and I
must say that they could not have
treated mo any better, The next
morning I want over to Edinburgh
a distance of 00 miles. Phi: day I saw
the Fourth Bridge, ]ildinbuegh Castle,
which is somothiug worth seeing,
Canon Gate, the alums of the city,
Ho]yrood Palace, where the King
stays when he is there, Edinburgh
University, the Royal Scottish Art
Gallery, etc. Edinburgh is a very
beautiful city and there ale great
many nice streets and parks, That
night 1 returned to Glasgow having
spent a very busy day. The next day
was Sunday and one of the girl,t where
I was staying and myself went out to
Loctx Lomond, about 22 miles. It is a
very nice place, there being a park o1'
73 acres. Bellock Castle is also situat-
ed there. The next afternoon I
returned to London, arriving there
quite late at night. There was a very
bad fog on. It was so thick that you
could hardly eee anyone right beside
you, The next day I did not go
around very much and returned to
camp that afteiruoon, rather tired but
quite pleased with my ttip.
Tne next tuornigg i left for Pirbright
to take a two months N. C. 0. course.
We wore only there's• week when IS
moved to Borden. I rather enjoyed
the course but they were very strict
and the inetructors 'were Imperials.
During this time our Bat talion wae
broken up, part going in a draft to
France, some gniug to that 116th Beat
and the rest of us to the 125th Batt.
I have only drilled in it one week tlo d..
not know much about it. The officers
appear to quite good. Wo are quite
a Cosmopolitan hunch now, Trite.
are 'he original bunch of the 125 b,
1355th, 157th, 1001b, and 111.b.
One week after I arrived back one
of the fellows in the huts took the
mumps so we were quarantined,
Just as we were about to ger out an-
other fellow took them, sot hey shipped
us over here for 21 days, 10 of v,'hfeh
must be spent in bed. We will be able
to getup in a couple of days. I am
not at alt'eick so do not- mind it. We
are in a very good building and every
one is very nice to us.
I think I will close for this time as it
is rather tiresome writing In bed. I
would like to describe it .a greater
length but may do so again. I hope
you are all well, I do not know when
I will get over to France but there is
some talk: of about the first of Aped,
We are not at all near the 117th Batt.
I think they are some place in the
south of England, I• had a letter fronr
Alf Pot,liff some time ago, LIe was

-1 am sending .you a handkerchfef
which I received from a fellow who
hasjust come hack from Belfast, snit
