Dear Sis,
At last, I suppose that you will be thinking something has happened to me as it has been so long since I wrote to you, but I am still alive, well and fit. I guess that it is I am just too lazy or fed up with all this now that the war is all over.
I have my kitchen set up in a little town in the North West of Germany, by the name of Varel. The only mail that I have had in the last couple of months was a letter from Catherine “Simmons” telling me that Bert was in the R.C.R.s.
The weather has been pretty fair around here but cool enough. How is everyone around there? Have you been doing any fishing this summer? We have fresh fish here twice a week and ice cream every Tuesday for dinner.
I don’t know when I will be getting home as I am with the occupational force now as you will notice by my address at the top. I also hear that all cooks will have to stay here until the end of October at least because of the shortage in cooks.
Well, it is almost bedtime so I will close for now as 5:15 comes early. Hoping to hear from you soon or perhaps see you.
Love, Allan
