Dear Sister;
Well, I received your letter yesterday and was glad to hear from you. Boy things are really happening around there, with the stealing, fishing and people getting married and so on. I had a quite a bit of mail lately. I got a box of chocolate bars and gum from Laola last night and were they good. I also had another letter from Elmer Jackson the other day. He doesn’t get many leaves and when he does they are only short ones, but we are going to try and arrange to see one another, if we can. Jennie was telling me in her letter that J.C. had his call so I suppose he is in the Army by now. Dad was saying that I had received a call to report also, but as it is quite a ways to go, I don’t think I will report. I hope they don’t get angry about it because it is just a year ago today that I joined up.
I suppose Clarence and Roy have gotten their guns all oiled up for the first day of duck season. I want to go up to London next weekend, if I can get a pass.
Well, there is not much to write about around here so will close for this time. Write soon and thanks for the pictures. I will try and get some to send you soon.
Love, Allan
