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. in a camp Of our own. 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-' mer time. The only thing that keeps you awake is the wolves at your door wanting in. We don't mind that, hal' hia l 0 have not shaved sinced last Tues-, day so T am gaiting away to a good; start. There is one lad here that has' a beard about 6 inches long. He has a little start on me but I think I can catch up with him. There are 75 men in this camp here and they are sure a nice bunch of fel- lows. There ha one camp with 50 fel laws from Hlaemi'lton and 40 from Windsor, they are a lively buneh.e They are from ages of 116 years to 23 years. They have made sling shots to hunt rabbits with, and for their am- munition they take the nuts off the Shacks, until the shacks, are nearly' failing over.
