This is all for this time. Hoping this finds you all well. Love to you all. Your loving son.

buy you and Ida, also Ruby something to bring back with me when I come. Sent you some postal cards today. Also rec'd Ida's letter with her picture which I thought was very good of her. Got Ruby's letter also. Wrote you all some letters the other day. We spent a very quiet New Years. Didn't do any drilling today. Some of the boys have got their Christmas Boxes. Am expecting mine most any time.

Hope you are getting some of my letters now. Have been writing pretty often lately. Wrote Aunt Nell a letter yesterday and also Jack Lash.

I bet Bernie didn't spend her New Years on the ranch this year. ha-ha

Well excuse this letter as I wrote it in a hurry as I have to get cleaned up for tomorrow. Hoping this finds you all well. I remain as ever your loving son, Albert N.

Guess she thinks I don't write her but I do. It is sure hard for me to write a letter any more as I can't think of any thing to write about. Hope they have got control of the Flu at home. Aunt Nell said it was worse than ever in Gilroy. Well it is nearing my chow time so had better say good-bye. Tell dad I will write him a letter next time.

As ever your loving sonAlbert N.

knows Barton Draper and Percy Phoenix. He went to Davis Farm School the same time they did. We have been feeding a good deal better the last week or so. The Chaplain gets a Commissary supply in every week and sells it to us. So I have been getting quite a bit of sweets lately.

I wish they would hurry up and sign up the peace terms and then maybe we will come home.

Have been in the service a year now and will rate another service trip in the last of May.

Well I hope this finds you all well. Your son, Albert.
