Not Yet Dead

Private Albert Edward Vear, late 125th Canadians, now in D.H. Ward, No. 3 Southern General Hospital, Oxford writes to The Expositor that he is not dead as rumored, though many of his friends have stopped writing because of their belief of the rumor. He went to France in May last, and on Nov. 29 was invalided to England with trench fever.
