Dear Sis:
I just received your letter this morning and was glad to hear from you. I wish I had been there on Friday for the chicken supper. We get pretty good food here though but as Lent is on we get lots of fish and I don’t like the way they cook it. We are having some real March weather here now. It snows for a while and then the sun will be shining five minutes later and the next five minutes it will be raining.
I am glad to hear that Alex is able to be around and is going to be able to keep his job while he is laid up. Well, it won’t be long I suppose until Roy and Clarence will be on the streets and getting the plough out.
Well, my furlough will be due by the time I get out of here (hospital) and I don’t know whether I will get back to Camp Borden or not. I am going to try and talk them into two weeks sick leave though, and if I can’t get that I will try and get my furlough right away and try to get enough money to get home. But don’t count on this too much as another draft might come along and I might have to keep on going.
You asked if there was anything you could send me. I would just love to have a piece of homemade fudge. Well, I can’t think of any more right now so will close for this time. Write soon.
Love, Allan
P.S. Tell Helen and Clarence that I want the big piece of pie and the drumstick & ask Roy how Mary Belle is getting along.
