Dear Mom, Dad & Art:

Hello folks here I am again & hope this finds you all in good health. I haven't been writing much since leaving England, but have sent a couple of cablegrams & a letter and also have a letter under way which will follow this on. I haven't been posted to a Squadron as yet but hope to be in a few days and then when settled with continue the weekly letters again. Am quite well & have had a fairly good time on our trip which has been more or less a continual go for the past month, so the reason for not writing. I haven't received any of yours or Cons mail yet & goodness knows when it will come, soon I hope as I'm longing to get them.

Guess who I met out here. Len Boucher the kid I used to go around with at Dauphin & also there are a few more lads that were at Service with me around here somewhere. All getting nearer Canada, maybe will one day end up there. what a treat that would be eh. Received some more smokes from Amps just before I left but no time to acknowledge, could you please do so for me Dad, I'll send one on soon, after get settled. now must sign off with lots of love to all & hope to hear from you soon again. Bye for now.

Loving son
Jack
