Dear Mother,

 

I received Anna’s letters of the 16^th and 18^th and also the package with socks and knife, candy and dates.  The socks and knife were fine and I am very much obliged to you all.  I also received two packages from our cousins in New York and one package had a sweater and a knitted scarf and the other package contained a helmet and a swell pair of knitted socks and a lot of candy.  I also received a package from Eva.  We have been eating candy and dates to our hearts content for the last two or three days.

 

            Why doesn’t Alice Hansen’s mother write to Alice’s brother and tell him to see his captain about [his allotment?].  In our company the lieutenant told all the fellows who had made allotment to let him know whether their folks were receiving the money and if they were not he would see that it was fixed up.

 

A lot of the fellows in our company are transferring to other companies.  Our company is getting smaller every day.  I suppose we will get a lot of new men pretty soon.

 

The weather is cold and damp today but we have a nice fire in our tent.

 

I do not know what we are going to do tomorrow; some say we are going to have a holiday and some say we are going to drill.

 

I wrote two letters to New York last night. I guess I have received letters from all of my friends this last week.  Well this will be all for this time.  I hope you will not have much more winter weather.

 

                                                                        Love to all
