Dear Marjorie,
Well another month is here, it is hard to realize that it is September, fall will soon be here. I suppose this will find you hard at work, but you won't have any trouble getting home for weekends will you? Dear me I can't think of anything to write about, it's the same old war going on in the same old way - slow. Today was about the same as yesterday and tomorrow will be probably be the same as today. There is no use telling anything about the war as I have previously expressed my sentiments along that line. We had an awful lot of rain last month but this month has been fine so far. These last few nights have been perfect. The moon could not shine any brighter, it is almost a pleasure to work at night in the moonlight instead of darkness and rain. I got a letter from Mary Dean the other day, she mentioned that Ella was up Lake Massawippi at the time. I suppose you had an extremely pleasant time. I hope so at least. I will have to be [?], a "high time" for the rest of my life I guess after I get back. I don't know how I will be able to settle down to any kind of occupation after leading this sort of free and easy life so to speak. We are all in tonight, that is none of us in our dugout are on duty tonight. Two of us are writing, four are playing bridge and two or three don't know what to do with themselves. I must tell you about the real meal I had day before yesterday. Six of us dined with Col. of Sherbrooke back at [?]. It certainly seemed funny to sit in a drawing room also to have a different plate for each course. (I speak as if we were accustomed to more than one). I hardly knew how to use a napkin. I will now tell you what we had. First we had soup, followed by sliced tomatoes very nicely decorated up, breast chicken, potatoe balls, cauliflower, cold boiled ham, salad and radishes, cantaloupe melons, fruit, pastry, coffee and cigarettes. Believe me it was some fine meal and most of us did justice to it, and forgot for the time being that we were in France. I suppose Miss . Remember me to her. I would not mind taking the Academic grades once again. I went to see Clinton today but he has moved so I cannot see him till I find out where he is located. You see we can write each other, but still be in ignorance of each other's locations. Yate was over to see us yesterday, he is a Lieut. in a French Mortar Battery out here. I have managed to cover a few sheets of paper after all Marjorie. I got the socks all right thanks ever so much, they are fine and not a bit too large as you feared. I will now say goodnight.
Your very sincere friend, Gordon
