Dear Folks.

Well I started a letter last Friday and didn't mail it so I shall send another along with it. I went to Cowards on my 24 and got my fill of cherries. I even brought a basket full back.

Well how is everybody out there Ronnie got a letter to-day saying that you had a big storm out there that kind of upset things.

Thank Franny for the cooking it sure hit the spot especially those chocolates cakes. Has she gone to Brandon.

Teddy McDonald is here now he came in last Friday so I guess were all here. Cecil got back to-day from his 7 day leave he went down to Montreal and to Niagara.

Well pay day comes tomorrow I should get 15 or 20 dollars this time. Ross Coward on this new job he is on got $102.00 for the first 2 weeks work not bad eh.

While I was down there Ross and I went down to Grimsby Beach for a swim and I got another burn.

I am heading for Toronto on my next leave, it will be the last big leave we have here. I just have another 4 weeks of school then a week of fooling around.

I got pictures of the bay to send you they are just the fellows in the Bay I sleep in. They come from all over Canada mostly from Ontario.

How are the two youngsters who does Lorne's baby take after. Is Lorne still working for the Grades yet.

Well I guess this is all for now so I guess I will close with oceans of love

Your Son
Bill
PS Tell June I will write her soon.
