No business man wants uufits, it scorns;' whereas before I loft horn with tho Forces, I was earning upwards of £-1 a week. It looks as though I shall Imvo to go to the "Old Men's Homo," as I have not had my board for several wcoks now. Cannot something ho done? The Defence authorities rofiiso to help mo?—I am, etc., WASTE OF WAR.
