Dear Sis,
A few lines to let you know that I am fine and received all your mail. I received the Winchesters, “my favourite brand” just about four days ago and I also have 3 or 4 letters from you. One with the picture of the group of Marsh’s, Bedell’s and Bob Charlton and I got the picture of Helen, the one of Dad, and the ones of the old Town Hall, or what is left of it, also of you, Olive and Helen and of Dad, Clarence and Buster Ward.
It has been raining all morning so I am lying in my tent writing this and hoping that the tent does not start to leak. Your Xmas parcel was in good shape when it arrived even though it took so long getting here. But the one that you said you were mailing at the same time as one of your last letters has not arrived as yet, although I am watching for it.
I received eight letters last night so I am going to be busy answering them today.
I am glad to hear that Dad is getting along fine and has got someone in the house with him. I see Jim Bedell almost every day and was showing him the pictures that you sent to me.
I am enclosing a bit of propaganda that the Germans left behind for us at one place we were at. Let me know if you get it OK. We all had a good laugh at it because it is so silly.
Well, I can’t think of any more right now, so will close for this time. Hoping to her from and see you soon.
Love, Allan
P.S. tell Roy that he looks fatter than ever. Allan
