Dear Sis,
A few lines to let you know that I received your letter a couple of days ago and also received your parcel, which was very good.
I am feeling fine myself and glad to hear that everyone is well around there, and glad to hear that Dad has got some company in the house with him now.
I just got my head shaved this morning and the boys are all calling me ‘Baldy’ and making fun of me. You should see the bumps on my head. I am still working at signaling, as yet.
Save a few fish until I get home again and then we can go fishing together. I had a box of eats and a letter from Ruth Ward a couple of days ago, also.
Well, I have to close now, as we are very busy, and I have got to get to work, so will write more later. So, for now, Cheerio.
Love, Allan
