May 20/17

Dear Sis:

Your epistle hearing date -
of Mar. 28th arrives on the 17th [illegible]
and the Easter card on Apr 30th.

Was very glad to get both. Was
beginning to think you had [illegible]
the letter to Maud, and had omitted to
enclose a few grand firecrackers.

Guess [illegible] be careful or "[illegible]
garde" as Maud is Aunt Mary's [illegible]
Aid, also neighbors collecting corps
cage. (Where prisoners are [illegible]
or arriving in advance)

As long as a [illegible] has a
squirrel to pick up the nuts [illegible]
motor transport will be [illegible].

And getting suspicious about
the company arriving every time you
start to write to me. If I [illegible] out
an advancing post also a
machine gun new, the company will
come around after [underlined] you have finished
writing. Ive must [illegible] discipline.
