Dear Mr and Mrs .1 Morrison—'

Many thanks for your Moo long let
of Nov, 2nd, It was the first o
from Canada in a month and a ha
The last one was from Lottie just of
I cattle up here, 1 hope 811e will wr
me again, They may have gouo esti
1f you address my letters to my eist
1 think they will reach me, as I du not
know how long 1 may be here. 1
liable to be moved any time. So y
sec Lydia will know whore to send m
lettere, 1 guess 1 worry the life o
of the 1 ostmaaten asking for letters
Part of my work consists of drawn
the mail from the General Poet Cftio
to the C. D, D. 1 have to do it twin
a day, You would be surprised to se
the amount of mail that goes to that
Depot every day. There is Malys a
!lot to bo re -directed ao many of the
followe have gone back to their units or
to Canada, and their mail all goes back
to the Post Office to follow them
• Some of the mail and parcels look as i
they had travelled all over the world,
1 am now expecting my own parcel. It
is very good of the ladies of Seaforth
to again remember us in thio way by
sending boxed.
Soy, if food is as clear over there as
here, it will coat something to sendthem, -
Well, 1 can't say I like the climate
here, as 1 have just about enough of
this wet'weather. It seems to rain the
whole blessed time. When not raining
it is snowing. Yon know half rain and
half snow. Last Sunday for a change
it was very cold ane froze up solid and
1 thought, now we will have some good
frosty weather but Wednesday morn-
ing it turned to rain and has done ao
ever since, Now, it looks like a green
Christmas,
Well, I guess, you will know how
the eleotions have gone by the time
you get. I think if the soldiers vote
will put the Government in again, they
will go iu, hands down. For they say
ninety-eight per cent voted for the
Government, I k ow all the fellows in
the Transport voted that way. Yon
bet, Mr' Morrison, I voted for 1Mer11er.
We knew 81,0 wa8 running, if you did
not you could vote for the Government
Laurier had some mon working for
him here in Buxton as yon see by the
bill I sent to Lottie. They were post-
ing up bills till over the town but as
fast 02 they taut they were pulled down.
1.11the evening when the soldiers were
dismissed at the C.13D. and got down
town the Laurier party had to run,
1 guess the civic police told them to
clear off or there would be trouble. It
wee a party of wounded soldiers from
the hoapital who tore the bills down
;lo you are Laurier isnot very well liked
over Lora just now. It is too bad
Harvey cannot go home for three
months. Harvey should get leave.
He deserves it as he 1188 seen lots of
hard 'Work. 1 would like to see him 11
he goes home. f see many of the
wounded here as there are five big
Hospitals here,
I wonder when this war will finish,
Some say in February, but I doubt itr
I am asking for leave for Christmas
to see my sister, Lydia,
Wolf this is all for this time Wish.
ing you all a happy Ohristmge'
Your friend,
Jack Wood
