here. I will have plenty of hard work and I will always do my best to do it right.

I hope everything is alright at home and everybody is well. How is Chas’ nose now? Was there many of the boys from around home called in on the first draft? Well I have to do a little work now so I will have to stop. I will write just as often as I can.

Love to everybody

I received a letter to-day telling me of the neighborhood news, and I am sorry it had to happen on account of the children.

I am glad to hear that the people are getting interested in the war, because that is the only way we can end the war. The people over here are glad to see us, because they know that we will shorten the war by years. I can write whenever I have time there isn’t any restriction regarding the amount of mail we can write. We receive our mail whenever any ships come across.

Love to everybody

I hope everyone is well at home and that business is still good. Did Chas have another opperation on his nose?

You might as well buy something for yourself with that money that you have because I don’t need it here. I get all the money I need to spend but there isn’t much chance of saving any now. I am going to see all I can for a while and then settle down to work.

Love to all,

them around with me. I think I will put about one hundred away every month I would only spend it foolishly because I have about everything I need now. Well I guess I will have to close now but I will write about twice a week from now on. Do you have to pay postage on the letters I send?

Love to all the family
