Dear Sister,
Well, here is a few more lines in answer to your last letter which I was glad to get. I had a letter from Aunt Addie the other day and just got through answering it now. I am glad to hear that Alex has not got to go for a while. If he has got “E” Category he not likely will have to report for quite awhile yet. I got a letter from J.C. the other day saying that Jennie was on another trip up north. I wish I could get down to the bay to go fishing with the gang some Sunday. By the way if you want to put something good in a box for me, put in a little jar of homemade jam, if you have any. I wish I could get a good dish of strawberries and cream now. Aunt Addie sent me Granma’s address so I will have to write her a letter some of these days.
I am taking a course in Signals now and in a different camp. I don’t know anything about it yet but will let you know how I like it as soon as I get going.
Do you see much of John Gazelle anymore? I suppose that he is staying down at the bay now, is he. Dad was saying that Bill Ruhle was dead. I suppose Jack Grass will be taking over the business, will he.
You wanted to know if the Scots were really tight. Well, the next time anyone tells you that, tell them that they are crazy. I had a wonderful time while I was in Scotland and want to go back again before I come home, which I don’t think will be long. Well, I can’t think of any more right now so will close for this time. Hoping to hear from you soon.
Love, Allan
