Dear Sis:
Well, I just got another letter from Helen, and here I am, have not even answered the last one yet. Well, I am feeling as good as I ever did but I have got almost another three weeks to put in here. The nurses are all around 25 or older. There are six of us in a ward all with scarlet fever – five soldiers and an air force fellow. The nurse caught me out of bed last night and I got proper H____ and then the Matron came up a while later and we all got bawled out for making so much noise. She just went past now and I had to hide this letter as we are not supposed to write letters while we are quarantined but the orderly brings us in the writing paper and stamps and mails our letters for us.
What unit of the army is Jack McKernan in and where is he stationed at? Tell Helen that I’m afraid she would have to get some help to pull me out of bed as I am feeling too good. I had a letter from Ila S. the other day and she tells me that Herman Deline got married (another poorhouse). Well, I suppose by now Olive has got a boyfriend in Windsor.
We were having some awfully nice weather here and the snow was all gone but last night it started to rain and today the ground is all covered with snow and there is an awfully cold wind. Well, the dinner is coming so I will be hoping to hear from you soon.
Love, Allan
P.S. Tell Clarence not to eat all the pork as I might be home soon and tell Helen to stay away from Buster W.
