Aldershot Camp N.S.

Dear Mother,

Received your letter yesterday and were sure glad two hear from you well things are just about the same as always with me, I like it here pretty well if it was not so quiet, it is a real pretty country but there is know amusement of any kind but we will appreciate amusement more when we get where we can have a good time.

I received a letter from one of the Bishes yesterday they told me that they have a big car know & they would like two have me back out there & I think that I would like two be out there myself.

Well as far as us going two England I dont think the way that they are fixing up this camp that we Will go this summer well I guess that if they don't that we will be just as well off.

I am not drilling know I am a telephone orderly that is I have two answer the telephone and then get the person that is wanted it is a change from drilling and I have every other day off so it is pretty easy.

You said Catherine was coming home well that will be a change for her and for you two.

Well I guess that is about all for this time hoping you are well I guess that I will quit with lots of love from your son

John

Remember me two the girls.
