Canadian Convalescent Hospital, Monks Horton
I wish you could see this beautiful estate though it is sad to see so many [?] mutilated or crippled as its guests just now. Some are shown in this group and all have been wounded in action. Our Canadian Premier was here a short time ago and many English notables why dont you write oftener you owe me about 10 letters now

Dear Leslie:
I will scribble a line to let you know that I am O.K. again. I am still in a convalescent camp, waiting for the base depot to open again. I got a letter from home while here, saying that you had all been out home and I was glad to hear that you were better. They are sending about 300 Canadians to blighty[?] from here every day and I read that a few got home in time for Xmas. I expect that Percy Insley will soon be in Knowlton and I hope that he will get a good reception for he had gone through h- for 4 years for them and they cant do too much for him. Did I write you that he had been awarded the military medal? He is the only one of us from home that I have seen over here. We are getting a lot of rain now and a cold damp wind blows all the time. I suppose that it is pretty cold over there now and beaucoup de neige. I hope this finds you all well, as it leaves me.
Love to all,
Affectly
Karl.

Dear Leslie:
Your letter dated Oct. 20th received and I was glad to hear that you had all kept clear of the Flu. I hope it will soon parti. Well, I am now in Belgium, as you see, near Mons. We have been here five days on this place but are already to more on again. We are now allowed to describe our surroundings and tell where we are, so will try to tell you a little about the country. This part of Belgium and the northern part of France, where I have been, are rich in coal mines and Fritz had held the mines since 14 around here. A mine is called un fosse in French. The people here are very hospitable and I have a nice billet with a Belgian family with a good bed (white sheets and pillows) beside a fire and the lady keeps me drinking milk or coffee all the time. They see quite a difference between us and the Boche, who used to rush in 20 at a time, in a house and drive them after what food they had at the point of a pistol. When five were in Valenciennes, just over the order in France, we were billeted in a counts house Compte Jacques de Vienne. I was in that scrap at Cambrai, and it certainly was hot. I will have something to tell you when I get over there. We were not allowed to tell when up the line so I wrote my letters between scraps. In all that I was in, I saw new ground and had the pleasure of seeing Fritz go a little nearer Germany with no iron rations to dodge. Hoping this finds all well. I am top=hole and feeling fine. With best wishes for a Happy Xmas,
[Please excuse paper and envelope.]
Love to all
Karl.
