Dear Franc:-
I have received two letters from you & two from Onn. also her cigs & I’m sure enjoying them.
One of yours was written Sept 11 which I received first & one Sept. 5 I got it the following day. I’m glad Elt. dropped a line too. Tell him to do it as often as he can.
I’m glad you liked the cards, Franc. I thought you would. They only cost me one shilling (24) – they were worth it. I had been telling Clarence that they were anxious to hear from him & he said he had written two or three letters.
“Boy I had some swell ‘coconut cream’ pie last. nite. This cousin of Pearls that lives alone in an apartment in London. She is a private stenographer & adviser of a lawyer. & she came down yesterday aft. & went back this morn”

Dear Franc:-
I thought I’d better get buzy and answer a few letters as they are beginning to pil up on me again.
Just received a letter from Stewy Hastein & his sister & a card of Lillian’s wedding announcement from Uncle Henry’s
“Well I just got finished pealing the pineapple for supper & I put the sugar on it. You didn’t have to send sugar as there is plenty of sugar yet.”

Dear Frances:
Received your parcel
O.K. and also a letter Fri. & Sat. Thanks a lot for the dinner. It was
really swell. I just got the parcel about nine last night. I also got one from
Pearl’s sister. It was a big chocolate box full of date cake & some candy. Well
I had Marshall Healey over to our tent for dinner and of course I had Glen
piper stay is he and I are in the same tent. The chicken & dressing was
swell, but it is so warm in the day time I thought I’d better get it ate up.
