Dear Sister,
A few lines in answer to your letter which I received today with the pictures. They are very nice and I was glad to get them. I got through my signal exams all right and am at the regiment now. I have been talking to Jim Bedell and we were down to see Sid. the other night. He is just a little way down the road from here. He had just received a parcel from home and I had some Dresden fair taffy and some soda biscuits and butter, which tasted very good. I am sorry I haven’t got any pictures to send you yet. A camera is pretty hard to get ahold of around here. I wish I had one myself. I had a letter from Shirlie and Alex today and a post card from Jennie. Well, I guess I am going to be the old bachelor of the family pretty soon if Jimmie gets married. I am glad to hear that Dad is getting along fine and is feeling fine also. I hope Bill stays with him so that he will have some company.
Well, I am supposed to get my leave in a couple of weeks and if I don’t get it this time I guess I will just take it myself.
(Continued Nov. 4)
I was on duty last night so have got the morning off to sleep, so I thought I would do some writing instead. I see one of the Babcock boys here at the regiment, Les Babcock I believe his name is. Well, I suppose you are living on wild duck most of the time now are you (and sauerkraut)? Well, I can’t think of any more right now so will close for this time. Thanks again for the pictures and send any that you happen to have taken. I will try and get some to send to you.
Love & XXX, Allan
P.S. Don’t forget to ask some of those beautiful girls to write Handsome?
