Dear Sis,
A few lines to let you know that I am getting along fine and hoping that all of you are O.K. I received your letter about a week ago saying that Jennie was in the hospital and I sure hope she is better by now and able to be around once again.
It is getting so that I almost hate to get a letter anymore, as it is almost sure to have something about someone being sick or else dying in it.
I heard a rumour this morning that we are supposed to start moving the first week in June, so if it is right, then we have not so awfully much longer to wait. Although it can’t be too soon for me now, so you better lay away a bottle or a case of beer for us to celebrate when I do get there.
Well, I finally got some pictures taken so am sending you one of them. The tall fellow is one of our helpers, Bill Ball, George the other cook, and guess who. This was taken back in the last place that we were in.
Well, I have to go to work so will close for now. Write soon.
Lots a love, Allan
