Dear Old Folks at Home.

      I received your letter of Mar. 3rd and you can't imagine how much good it done me to get it. It seemed to put the pep in me. This leaves me feeling fine & dandy & hope it finds you folks the same.

      By the way you write about Ernie, it seems to me as though I have a good chance of getting a sister. Here is hoping so. And I hope she is the girl that makes him a good woman. What is her last name?

      How does Arlee's like their new home? It will be better than their old one anyway.

      Mother, you spoke of Joe's little girl. What did you mean? Joe's haven't another baby, have they? If so & she is anything like Doyle she sure must be some kid and of course she would be the greatest thing in the world to me. But they must not neglect my little kid Doyle. Just think, when I get back I'll have more nieces & nephews than I can count. But keep the good name going Ha, Ha.

      I would like to see Smiley & his Ford & also would like to meet his Waterloo.

      So Dad has turned Farmer again. Poor old fellow. He can't keep from working, can he? Tell him nothing would suit me better than to come over & help him, but he will have to wait a little longer & I'll be there with bells on & to stay, too. Just think, he is a farmer, runs a shop, and last of all, a Soldier. I would like to see him walking post, and I know he can do it as good as anyone.

      How are the fellows getting along with the drilling? I'll never forget the drilling I put in at old Fort M .

      I received the package & that cake was the best I have eaten for many a while. Tell Mrs. Gibson that she has a recipe to be proud of as the cake traveled all this distance & didn't lose a bit of it's flavor.

      I wish you would send me Chas. Hutch's letter when you are through reading it. Also his address as I would like to write to him.

      Well, I written about all I can think of so will close as tomorrow is Muster & I have to clean up for it. So take good care of yourselves & write often. I am always

Your Son & Bro.
