Dear Sis,
A few lines to let you know that I received your most welcome letter last night and was glad to hear from you. It only took about twenty days getting here, which is pretty good time. I am glad to hear that you are all well. I am getting along fine myself.
I wish I could be there on the 28th of this month, but I will make up for it next year, so you better get yourself a good big cushion ready.
I am glad to hear that it was only jaundice that was wrong with Jimmie and not something worse as I was kind of worried, for a while, about him.
I got 300 fags from Uncle Holly the other day so have got to get busy and drop him a few lines some of these days soon.
We are right close to the Adriatic Sea at present and I sure wish that it was summertime so that I could go for a swim once in a while, as the old water really looks nice, but a bit too cold at the present time for swimming purposes.
I had a box of chocolates from Allan Badder (Wabash) the other day, so I have got to get busy and write to him also.
Tell Helen that I got her letter last night also, and wish that I were there to go skating with her. If she keeps on working at the store on Saturdays she will have the guys running after her for her money. I will be watching for the pictures that she promised to send me also.
I suppose that with that new shotgun there won’t be any rabbits or anything left for me to go hunting for. I got a letter from Ruth Ward today. I hear from her quite often and she writes me a real nice letter.
Well, I can’t think of any more right now so I will close for this time as I want to do some writing tonight.
Love and Kisses, Allan
