My address will be Air-Craftman R58350 Bion P.C. Manning Pool, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Dear Mother,
Just a few words to say we arrived in Van. OK - Major Layard met us at the boat and proceeded to find a Hotel which had a room and after phoning 1/2 a day Liz got me at the York Hotel for $1.00 a day and quite good. Everything has turned out very well and I am all set to go on Wedn. night at 7.15. We go to Toronto and stay there how long I don't know. Will write longer letter tonight.
