Dear Rose and All

Well I received your letters and one from Dad today, and I also got that photograph of Curt , it is really a swell picture, right now it is the only picture I have of him. As for parcels, I’ve got a 1000 cigarettes from you, 300 from Soi, and a parcel from Ivy, and the others will catch up to me one of these days...

... I am doing okay, I think, of course every so often the gunnery leader yanks the boys into the office and tells them they are useless. I am just afraid I might get sore one of these times, then I will be in trouble.

A few of us were in the mess tonight having a few drinks, so my rear gunner who never drinks more than two glasses of beer, well tonight we got him to drink 2 glasses of beer and 4 shots of whiskey. So he staggered back to the barracks and wobbled into bed about 7:30 , he is sound asleep, poor fellow. Just wait till I see Canada again, boy I won’t be able to walk for the first week I’m back.

Say Rose can you send me a pipe or two, and my pajamas sometime. About that cheque for $40 of mine that is missing, you better write to them and find out about it before it is to late, Cause they are kind of fussy if you let it go to long, so you see about it right away...

As ever

Love Clair
