Dear Sis,
A few lines once again to let you know that I am still kicking and hoping that you are all fine. I received the Xmas parcel O.K. Thanks a million for everything. I am smoking the pipe right now. I saw Jimmie Mitchell Xmas afternoon and Jim Bedell was there for a while so we had a couple of beers to celebrate on.
I imagine that it is pretty cold over there right now. We had a bit of snow about three days ago and there is still some of it left. It gets pretty cold at nights but generally thaws in the day time. I might be able to send you some pictures before long as I have a camera now and managed to get a couple of rolls of film the other day, if the sun will just shine now.
Well, I will sign off for this time. Hoping to hear from you soon again.
Love, Allan
P.S. How many hundred pounds has Roy gained this winter? How many Jack Rabbits has Clarence missed this winter? How many inches shorter are you? How many boyfriends has Olive and Helen got and how many girl friends has Grandpaw?
