Dear Helen,
A few lines in answer to your most welcome letter which I received a few days ago. Well, I guess by the sound of things I had better hurry home and meet my future nephews “Kenneth and Keith”.
I am glad to hear that Jimmy made it home. I’ll bet Jenny is really proud now showing off her son just home from the wars. I still don’t know when I will make it though, in the spring I hope.
Well, it was just four years ago tonight since I was last around those parts. It seems more like forty years though as I have been a lot of places and seen a lot of things since then.
I took some pictures today and if they turn out O.K. I will send you some of them. I have another camera now, a size 120 so if you can get a couple of films for me I will be able to send you more pictures.
Well, I can’t think of any more tonight, except that it is pretty cold so will sign off for now, hoping to hear from you soon again.
Love, Allan
