Dear Aunt Lily,

Received your letter today and am sorry to learn that you had a parcel for me to bring along but am now on the lookout for same. The pictures are fine and I feel proud of myself for having taken such a good picture with Jean. We are not leaving here now until the 15th of October but I am trying to get away to Toronto about the 10th. We don't know how far we are going but they talk as though it is England for sure, but it may be only Winnipeg. If it is possible for me to get off before I go East I will make a trip to see you but I don't think I can make it.

Lou has passed his training course with honours, having been, along with one other man, the highest in the class. Aunt Katie was at Moose Jaw when I passed through. They are all well at home, and I am feeling great. My crop is not threshed yet but expect it done this week.

Love to Jean and all.

Cecil
