Dear Helen:
In answer to your letter which I got this morning, I had a letter from Jennie and Olive on Saturday and also one from Jean Low and I got a “Get Well” card from Katy the other day.
It is nice and warm here now and the sun is shining. The doc told me that I could get up this morning and putter around the room so I will likely be getting out sometime this week.
Thanks for the paper and book that I got the other day and the clipping today. Well, we have got the navy, air force and army here in the ward now. Well, I just got the nurse mad at me. She didn’t know yet that I was supposed to be up and she tried to send me to bed and I wouldn’t go.
Well, I hope you don’t forget the Irish (17th) in you tomorrow and don’t forget to write.
Love, Da Soljer, Allan
