Interesting Letter From Mr. Fred B. McRae.

The following letter has been received by Mrs. A. M. MeRae, of Pownal, from her sou, Private Fred B. McRae. The letter is dated Belmont, January 27:—

We have not seen much fighting yet simply because we are infantry; if we were mounted we would have been into lots of scraps by this time. The Boers are esCap‘ng from Magerefontein, aad are spreading all over the conntry iu small bodies. Twocompanies of the Canadians are out towards Douglas and are likely to get into a dght as th re is a large number of the enemy quite near them,

An attack will bemade by our forees when a sufficient number of reinforce- ments ar'ive from Orange River. The transport waggons come in here almost every day for supplies. When the troops are out as they are now they take no tents with them and get only only hard tack and canued meat, besides tea and coffee,—the hard (sck is made thin and equare, and is ten times as hard as any- thing you can get at home.

When in camp on the lineof communica~ tion we get the very bestof fresh meat and bread, besides tea, coffee, sugar, salt, pepper, etc. No. 2 Maxim gun is out now with C Campany;our gut would have gone, too, but for the feed block being out oferder. It is allright now and we may be sent for at any minute. We are having We have'nt done a

camp about 600 yards; when the ground gets worn and sandy in one place we move to another.

Joe O’Rielly is inthe same tent with me, also a Halliday from Pictou; a Baugh, from Quebec; a Dalglish, from London, Oat.; a Mullins, of London; a brother of Lord Lee, of Ejinbureb; and two Scctzh- men ard an Englishman, who belong to very Sristocratic tamilies,—one of them, Currie, was io Klontyke and is very wealthy. I am sending alot of relics to Tue Examiner, to be put on exhibition be- fore being tent home ; the most valuable thing in the Boer flag of truce used'al Lule | nont, wheo they shot Colonel Falconer, of the Northumberland Fusiliers. There is alsoa Boer jacknife and some empty shells found io their trenches I eam pretty sure some of the Canadians out here will yet intotrouble for the com- plaints they are writing howe. The truth of the matter is that thev oaven’t seen haif enough hardship yet. I would willingly suff-r myself to see there grumblers get a real good tasie of “hard times.’
