Well I thought I had better get busy and answer some of your letters or I would have you climbing right down my neck, although I have been pretty busy lately and there is also a very nice young lady that has been taking up quite a bit of my time. I guess that is the biggest reason that I have not been writing.
Well, I suppose the fishing is pretty good in the bay right about now. I wish that I was there to help you catch a few. I haven’t been able to get and see Jimmie yet but hope to do so soon.
Well, I guess Helen will be out of school soon for the summer holidays and the strawberries will soon be ripe also. How about sending me a big dish of strawberries and cream when they get ripe?
I hear Laura and Bob are thinking of building up at the shop if they can get permission to build. I had a parcel from Laura and three hundred fags from Alex the other day.

I am enclosing a slip from a parcel that I received a short time ago from Dresden. Will you please convey my thanks, for the lovely parcel. I can never think of the right thing to say when I am trying to write thanks for a parcel.
I am taking the girl friend to the show tonight to see “The Glass Key” so I think I had better close this and see if I can get my trousers pressed, as they are getting baggy at the knees. So, I will close for now. Hoping to hear from you soon. Cheerio for now.
Lots of love, Allan
Ask Roy how Marybelle is getting along.
