France, March 3, 1917
Dear Father,
Just my usual to let you know I am alright and keeping well. I am enclosing a photo taken a few days ago. The pal along with me is Jimmie Rennie from Hamilton. I am also sending one to Jeanie. I had a letter from Neil last week. He seems to be enjoying himself in the city alright. The weather is very good here now, still a little cold at night but very clear. There has been very little rain but we can expect lots of that soon. I have not had any news from Archie lately. I wonder if he has started for Canada yet? I'll close now hoping this finds you all well as it leaves me.
Your affectionate son, Ronald
