    Dear La Verne:-

    Here it is almost bedtime & I just got off police duty. The Corporal of the police are here alone in our cozy little office & he’s making us a cup of good old Chase & Sanborns coffee. I just felt that I couldn’t put your letter off any longer. So decided I’d scratch a few lines before going to bed.

    Dear La Verne:-

    You can see by this that I have received the cigs.

    Thanks a million dear. I really enjoyed them & now that I’m down to the card I am returning it to you.

    Have had a bad cold this week, but am improving now.

    I will write a letter in a couple days when I feel better.

    I hope you are all well over there. Be sure & write whenever you have time. I will close for now

    Lovingly Yours    Harry

    Dear La Verne:-

    Was I ever glad to get your letter the other day. I got a bunch of them all at once. And yours was a little more welcome than either Franc’s or Peggy’s I think. Of course I guess I hear from them ofterner is why. But I’m glad to hear from them too as I can sure read a lot of letters over here.

    Dear La Verne:-

    I guess you know I have left Camp Borden. last week-end. I got a letter from Frances yesterday & she said she was talking to you on the phone that morning. (last sun.). I guess she was sort of upset when I phoned her from Camp & told her I was leaving.

    Camp Borden, Ont.
    Tues. nite.

    Dearest La Verne:

    Your letter was a very pleasant surprise I sure did feel good when I saw your writing I opened it even before Onnellee’s.

    I had an address of yours, but I did thought you had moved since. So I asked Frances what it was in my last letter to her. She’ll probably send it in her next letter. But however I’m glad you got mine & wrote to me. I guess I’ve written about 25 or th 30 letters & I don’t know how many cards since I came a week ago.
