Dear irriende:— I am indeed grateful for the two pair of egeks that arrived yesterday. There le no doubt that sox are the most useful artielee the boys receive from home, f have been very fortun. ate as my friends have kept Me well supplied, but I know there aro many who are in need of them. In this camp the boys are working hard at present. Hundreds of them are on long route marches every day, Clean dry sox to put on when they return sloes more to rest the and keep their feet in good condition than anything else. Yesterday I was outwith a elass of more than 250 men, we marebed 19 miles and did a little field work besides. Many of these men are well supplied with eoa and many are not, this week I asked a man who was limping badly how he was fixed for sox, he said lie only had the ones he had on and these were worn out and that was the cause of the limp, of course I saw that he got a pair, there are many the same so every pair or sox sent here or to Franco is helping to make us more comfort- able. The more comfortable and cheerful we are the better we Werke and the better they work the sooner the war will be over, so every woman knitting sox is helping to bring the and of the war nearer, Drafts are being sent aerobe to France every day, and every one is anxiouia to get in them but we have to wait till We are sent. T think there will be doings this spring, that will surprise the world and moat of us will be there to see it, after fifteen months training a person naturally Is anxious to get at the real thing. I am enjoy- ing the work very much, the country is beautiful even in winter. We still manage to be cheerful and are having a good time, thanking you again. Youre Sincerely, Lieut.
