He was drafted out of the 5lst BattaliOn after the last big scrap we had up here, and he is now in the 15th Batt. (Kilty). I had a letter from Mr. Hartley, late rector of Durham, and. he was telling me that the Review had me down as missing. Well, you can tell the editor that I’m still in the land of the living and that it must have been another party by the same name as myself who was .so unfortunate. We are out for a few days’ rest and a general clean-up, after our long spell of days up in front, and days -_w1th- out a bath. Not bad, is it? I had a nice letter Irom Mr. Towner since I wrote last and it appears that a letter of his must have gone astray, which is nothing un- usual. Still, we can’t grumble, as the mail is very regular and 1t is always brought to where you are no matter what’s on. The weather is dandy over here at present.
