Dear Sister,
I received two letters from you today, both mailed the 18th December. One was an air mail. You might just as well send all your letters by regular mail as they get here just as quick as the air mail. Tell Roy and Olive they had better go on a diet or they will be losing their youthful figures.
I got six letters today – two from you, one from Dad, one from Laura, one from Jean Ball and one from Mrs. Gerald Neely, from Wabash. So, I am busy with my pen tonight. I am glad in a way that Alex has got category E. If he was still single it would be different. Well, I suppose the old town is pretty dead with all the young fellows gone from around there. Mrs. Neely sent me the addresses of all the young fellows from around Wabash that are over here now. There are quite a few of them now. I guess a lot of them just came over recently.
Tell Clarence not to kill all of the rabbits around there, but to save some for me when I get home again and get the old single barrel oiled up again.
Did you get the Xmas card I sent you from Scotland when I was on leave? I expect to be going on leave again the last of this month or around the first part of February. I hope so anyway.
We have only seen snow once over here this winter. I’ll bet there is lots of it around there now. I had a cold for a while but it is better now. I hope none of you have a cold this winter. Well, I will sign off for now. Hoping to hear from you soon again.
Love, Allan
