    Dear Frank:

    Just a few lines to let you know I am O.K. I was going to come down at 4 O’clock last night, but it snowed so hard that I thought I would put it off until some night during the week.

    Dear Sister:

    Just a few lines to let you know I am fine, I did one guard last night from midnight until 6:00 A.M. this morning but didn’t intend a go on another one until tomorrow night at 6:00 PM.  It really is tough guarding.  You are plowing in white clay up to your ankles all around the joint.  This sure is a good place for a barracks it is just like a mansion (inside) alongside of ours in Windsor.

    Well I hope you are well. I am fine outside of the little touch of that hay fever which I get every year.
