Dear Sister,
Well, I just finished Helen’s letter so thought I had better get busy on yours which I received yesterday along with Helen’s. Glad to hear you are all fine. I am feeling swell myself. Tell Roy I guess I will have to come home and show him how to catch fish, as you were saying he was fishing through the ice and didn’t catch anything. Gee, I can’t think of anything to tell you, I guess I told Helen everything.
I am glad that Dad is feeling fine. I suppose I should write him a letter tonight. I guess it won’t be long now until the men will be good and busy again. I haven’t received your parcel yet but will let you know as soon as I do.
Well, it was getting cold in the room here so I went to work and have got a nice big fire going in the fire place and it is now 1:30 in the morning. I wish it was summer time so I could go swimming in the channel which is about a hundred yards from the back door. Well, I can’t think of any more as I put it all in Helen’s letter and it is lunch time anyway. I have got a few cakes one of the boys brought me from the canteen tonight. Write soon.
Love, Allan
