Well Mother I Hope you had a good time on your tripe east. I guess Granpa looks pretty old by now. So poor old Fred is not married yet, and when is he going to join army,? if he joins & comes over here he can soon get a girl, & get married, you did not say any thing about Jean what does She look like now? & what does the old farm look like? I would like to see it again, Say Mother I would not have any thing to do with Muriel at all. I Hait her now & would not speek to her now if I seen her., any girl that has gone to the Dogs like she has, is not worth speeking to., I thought she had more Brains. And if that is the way she goes on, I dont want ever to see her again, you can tell her that for me, if you ever see her, & if I ever see her when I go back with Florence. I dont want her to speek to me, because Florence is a lady & Muriel is not, Well Mother it will be a Happy day when we all get back together again, Florence & I, Greta & Bert, Hazel & Geo, & you & Bill, & Baby, we will have one real selebration for a whole week, & if Bill gets married befor I get back good luck more the merrier, Well Mother I guess that is all the news. we are both well Hoping you are all the same.
