there is no use kicking;. When we do get away, if ever, intend going up to Glasgow to see cousin MacGregor,
Gee, what an awful amount of fuss to stir ur* over a. little wallop on the face, Next time 1*11 he more careful, and get out of the way when I see any flying steel coming my way. So the hum town papers wanted to know all about it eh* I guess it wouldn’t have done any harm to give them a picture under the existing circumstances What I object to is these long winded letters from England and the front, usually written by fellows who have "bomb proof" jobs in the unit, and whose information is nearly always second-hand. Anyway, here’s my hearty thanks to all who have been kind enough to inquire about me. Makes a fellow feel good to think that he has such a lot of friends.
That sleeveless sweater will sure come in handy. The one I am wearing now is my original issue, and not having been washed for the past ten months, well "nuf sed". By the way, the sox in the last parcel were rather thin for this time of year. Were they the ones Grandma Game knitted? Bidn’t look like her work.
Good job I hung onto that old raincoat of mine after all wasn't it? All but left it behind when I quit ’Frisco. Hone it keens Bad a bit more dry than it did me. Bidn’t leak, you know, but used to soak me from the knees down. But as you say it is long for him, he won’t have the same trouble.
Yes, that censor stall is a good one all right. But somehow or other I haven’t had oocasion to fall back on it yet. My way of looking at it is this, - if a friend is interested enough in me to write, well I guess it is the least I can do to answer same as best I can. No, X haven’t acquired the "whizz-bank" habit yet, and hardly think I will.
Now for a little quotation from your last letter Mother, Here it is. Speaking of the movies you say of one "so perhaps we will go provided we hear from you,boys in the meantime". Now why, oh. why will you deny yourself a little pleasure just because you know we aren’t in a position to do likewise? life isn’t a bed of roses over here by any means, as everybody realizes, but I fail to see why you should stay at home so much. Aren’t you drifting into the same frame of mind as Aunt Fanny? Buck up Mother mind, go out to your old movie show every time you oan, I’m sure we don’t begrudge you the pleasure.
Yes, those magazines came to hand all right. Thanks muchly. Haven’t finished reading them yet, as we also received two consignments from Annie Farish,
Good work, pie, that's the way, Hope you enjoyed "Mary".
Well, guess I’ve exhausted my stock of comments on your letters
