It has been quite some time since I last wrote you and as I just received one of your papers I decided to let you know how things are here.
As you probably know I am overseas now. Things here are not as bad as I expected. The country here is quite nice and it is sure good to see green grass and trees after being out in our last camp in Saskatchewan which was very sandy.
Since I came over I have already met two fellows from Hespeler and had a very cheery talk with both.
I am looking forward to receiving your paper each month as it contains some addresses which will come in very handy, as well as the news from home and the mill. In my last paper I read about the Union which has been started in the shop and it sounds pretty good.
I guess that is enough chatter for now. So long and keep the wheels turning. Good luck to everyone and I hope to be with you soon.
