Dear Mrs Martin
I want to thank you and Jim ever so much for that box of candy which reached me safely a few days ago We are not used to such luxuries over here and it certainly was fine.
I am getting on fine here and have not had a very hard time yet. A troop of my squadron is attached to the Engineers and I’m one of them but the rest of the 2nd(?) are in the trenches now and are not having quite so easy a time as last.
The weather is pretty bad to say nothing of the --- which is lovely don’t quite know how we would get on without it. I think Jim will be glad to hear that Col. Bott is now our act. Brigadier. The 2nd Regt. men are all pleased about it. I will have to stop now so with best Christmas wishes to you all I am
Sincerely yrs
Pat K. Mowat
