Dear Ona
Just a line to let you know I am still in Camp Borden, but will get out this Saturday Oct 28th. Just getting over a bad cold now on last Sat + Sunday my nose was running sap some, I had about one dozen hankerchiefs on the go. How's fishing at Port now. The weather is cool + rainy and quite changeable to night it is windy out. Hope you are all well down your way I hear we will go through Toronto on our way East. We are warned not to write or tell the name of the Boat, that we will cross the Pond in, or the date of sailing.

I will write against on Fri or Sat before leaving camp.

If I get the hang of writing when we are on the way I will and will soon as arrived across, will send my address tomorrow is camp duties for the 114, so I will likely be on ground somewhere, and after that we will not get any chill till we get across the Pond.

Well I think this is all
Be good from your Brother Arthur
