Sister

Your two letters arrived dated 4th and 10th Dec was delighted to get them as the mails are very slow and parcels take months to reach us. I am mailing you a post card taken where we were at Nice. I wonder if it will get by the Censors. There is a book of news to tell you about this life but the boys are getting called up before the C.O. each day over the mails & so I can't take a chance as it involves the officer that censors it for me as well.

You can imagine what the life is like pretty well & the details would all be out of your line unless explained so I can't write between the lines.

The weather here has been very bad, snow on the ground & we haven't seen the sun for weeks. We play cards a good part of the time, and read the rest and hold some fine English hockey games in one of the empty hangers, but yesterday one of the fellows smashed an ankle so I suppose that will be stopped now.

The papers you mentioned about Carlstrom have not arrived so far. I suppose some Army Service C. outfit wanted to read a N.Y. Times. They smoke all our cigars as well. Someone should drop a bomb on the whole outfit.

Best regards to you & Skip.
