 Dear Sister,

 I can understand now why the soldiers did not wright much for how can you wright  sitting four in a seat all that can get there heads out the window  stick them out and yell and the rest yell anyway out or no out when we wake up the next morning.

 After we left there was about two inches of snow some where near Wainwright but it disapeared soon after we got into Sask. And when we wake up this morning we are in Man.  Things are terribley floded hear grain standing in the stook yet with jest the tops sticking out of the water.  We have not been let out of the car yet but get out at Winnipeg for about one hour.  We stay in Ottawa for six hours and arive at Halifax the morning of April 28th.  Well I gess that’s about all I know jest now so by by from

 Will
