Private J. Fitzsimons,
43 Casualty Clearing Station,
France
5 June 1919
Dear Sir,
I received your letter of the 28th March, and was very glad to hear that you were still strong and well and anxious to get back. I had hoped that you would have arrived here before now. However, there seems to be no definite system in the method of demobilisation. Eagleson and Roy are back more than a couple of months now, and Warren is back over a month. McCausland I expect to resume duty in a week or two. Captain Coulson has resigned and W. Moore188 has been appointed in his place, but O'Rourke and Freeland are still away, as is also Captain Simpson189 . I hope you will let me know when you are likely to be demobilised.
I remain,
Yours sincerely,
JBG
