Dear Mother and Diad and all.—Well,
I guess you have been running vp
town every day looking for a letter.
I arrived here o.k. Wednesday at 5
o'clock. Had to wait in station until
9.30, but had breakfastat the Y. M.
'C. before th'at, though. Tihe employ-
ment office did not open until 9.30.
We went down to see them; there
were six of us, to'ge'ther with a fel'lo'w
that was a minister's son. They told
us that M'r. Lyons was not in that
we could go to the hotel and 'wait un-
til he carne in—'ha was out at the
camps.
He did not get 'hack until Friday,
and he landed us out at a .camp about
00 miles away until he could- pl'a'ce us.

Well, this is n(ot such a bad ,pliace,
bush, rock and water on all sides of
us. Weather is glorious. Net was 3
below zero, not so bad, never had the
lugs over the ears yet. About a foot
of snow. We sure get lots to eat and
it sure is warm in our shacks. They,
keep a man on all night keeping the
fire on. You can 'sleep without any-
thing aver yourself, just like the sum-'

The only thing that keeps you
awake is the wolves at your door
