10^th July 1917

Pte. J. F. Eagleson, 46784,
110^th Field ambulance
B.E.F. FRANCE.

Dear Eagleson,

I received your letter last May but have not had time to answer any of the letters from the front until now. I hope you are still in the best of health and continue to work for the wounded. Captain Simpson⁶⁵ is back in France again with a Labour Battalion and when I saw him a few weeks ago he looked in splendid health. You know, of course, that Coulson is Major now while acting as second in command of a battalion.

Have you seen Fitzsimons lately? He is in the R.A.M.C., 41^st Casualty Clearing Station, somewhere pretty close to the front, Mat Warren was wounded and taken prisoner about the end of April and was last heard of at Cassel; he has been very unlucky.

McCausland has now been gazetted 2^nd Lieutenant in the 18^th R.I.R., joining up last Monday.

Miss Miller⁶⁶ , is still unable to go to business although she is improving⁶⁷ . I would be glad to get some of our old staff back again as it is hard work when a lot of young boys and girls are coming and going. I was glad to get your field post card about a week ago to let me know you are still alive and well. I hope you will continue so and that the war will soon be over.

With best wishes for your success.

I remain,

Yours sincerely,

JBG
Acting Chief-Librarian
