Dear
Dad
How is every little thing Pop. I’m
going strong. I received you last letter with the clippings & pictures
enclosed & razor blades & also received the parcel of snap shots &
thanks a lot, you couldn’t have sent me a better collection, your sure looking
well Dad & I’m sure glad to hear it & see it. Had a letter from Archie
& he was telling me that he had his leave & that it was sure swell to
get a welding torch back in his hands, hope you had a nice time in Alberta.
Ellen was home to eh, must have been a nice reunion. Archie spoke about Tom
& Billie & what nice lads they were. Also had a letter from Dutch. I
just came back from seven days leave, I meant to go to Auntie Janet’s but it
was Bank Holiday Week in this country & the trains were so packed it was
almost impossible to travel so I spent it in a near by city with Tex & Ron
& we had a swell time, we met some swell people who invited us up to their
house & told us we could spend a leave with them anytime. So I’m already to
go to work & do a little flying & visit the Huns. Well solong for now
hoping this finds you and Edith well.
Your loving son
Fred
NOTE
Tex was Robert Jordan from Texas
Ron was Ronald Connor from Moose Jaw
