Dear Sis,
A few lines in answer to your letters. I have one from you and one from Helen and the airmail letter which you all sent to me for my birthday. I just received it today. Tell Clarence that I was on the ranges today and made a pretty good score, so maybe I will be able to show him how to shoot when I get home, and tell Roy that I don’t go out with any “old dames” that can bake.
I just came back from leave Sunday. I was up to Edinburgh again. I had nine days altogether and was in Scotland for seven days. I had a very good time while I was up there. I sent Olive a little present from Scotland for I heard I drew her name for Christmas, so will you let me know if she gets it safely? I will try and get some more little things to send home the next time I go up there.
I was up to Margaret’s place a couple of times for dinner while I was up there and her folks are very nice and treated me swell. We went to see “Gone With the Wind” while I was up there. Tell Helen that I will try and get her some Scotch heather the next time I go up there.
I had a box from Jennie the other day and one from the Dover Centre Red Cross. They were both very nice. Well, I can’t think of any more right now except that I weigh 150 lbs now, so I am doing not too badly on army cooking. Well, so long for now.
Love & XXXXXXX to everyone, Allan
