OVERSEAS BATTALION

Cobalt, Ont.
Apl 3/16.

Dear Tina:-

Your letter of the 21st rec'd some time ago. Am expecting to get leave at Easter for two or three days and might be able to see you for a short time, at least would like very much to be able to do so. Nothing much very new here. Am working away and the Battalion is filling up. Glad to know you are all well, and hope to be able to see you soon.

Made application to go to Ottawa to complete a course or to take a more complete course in Musketry, and it is just possible I may get this granted.

With love to Wilber and Ethel and yourself.

I remain,
Your aff. bro.,
Alex
