Several weeks had gone by and as yet we had no definite information from General Hughes as to which or how many chaplains would be accepted.

It was very annoying.
Some of us could not make satisfactory arrangements for our parishes, until there was a certainty in the matter.

The question came to me as to whether I ought to go, now that the Quebec men had been merged into a battalion of which I was not to be the chaplain.

One evening as I was going to town, I put the matter before my friend Colonel, now General, Turner.

It was a lovely night.
