125th Batt.

Dear Mary & all the children

It was a fine site to see the fields on the hill sides. like inlade quilt or oil cloth they are cutting some oats. one place just past the Ille of Manoned by some Americans was covered with purple heather. grain & grass fields of different sizes. we got off at 7 P.m. the houses are very bad for the poor, in long stuffy rows. it makes me mad and the farms houses are quite low but the horses and sheep look like canadian it seems funny to have the trees so short. but every thing to suit people houses cows sheep & railway cars very small. we make bunks out of 2 end peices & 3 boards and one more blanket. I am out of money but hope they will pay us some in 2 or 3 days have to get out of here

bye bye

with lots of love
Roy

P.S. We road all night on the train we could see some of the farms befor it got to dark they certainly farm good. no wire fences all hedges. it rained for a moment or two 3 or 4 times the rest has been fine & sunney washed some shirts and towels last night in good hot water our meals are not good yet. hope you got your money. I think if you get a good big gas heater for the front room you will save lots of work this winter. I may go to London on a pass in a week or so. but everything is dear in England are our folks with you yet if you people would write every day why I would get some of the letters any time [?] follow the Batt from place to place some got letters on boat some of the 84th are here yet [?] [?] [?] yesterday we may stay here untill winter Roy
