Just a line in answer to your welcome letter which I received
yesterday glad to hear you are all well at home as this leaves the same
I have still got a bad cold but so busy I have not got time to think about
it
I am glad you got my Bonus all right you have got the upper
hand this time keeping it all yourself but I will have some of it when
I come back 51 beans that is all right
I had a letter from Norrington C & O he told me that Miss Luce
told him you was to get about 50 Dollars to bad it was not the Old 78 eh
but there is no kick coming did Mr Agnew offer to do anything else for
you as regards coal or wood he said he would if you was stuck How about
the other Payments are you getting the 25 Sep and my 40 & 25 Patriotic
yet you never mentioned what you got or if you are getting it all right
& I would like very much to know and I often wonder how you are off
for money as I spend quite a little bit here that I could send on if you
require it let me know as soon as possible Dear as we expect to be away
very soon not later than the 7th Feb
How is Pat & Doris Cameron Kay getting on some class to the name
but I object to your sending her over here as a mascot to walk the floor
at 2 am, we get little enough sleep as it is we are out of bed every morning
at 5 am this morning we had about a foot of snow for the first time we
fell in at 6:15 & marched 6 miles to the ranges but it was snowing
too hard to shoot so we marched back again in heavy marching order. I had
the best score on the range (5 shots 30 secs 5 Bulls eyes) 15 shots 1 minute
15 hits counting 35 Points out of 45 pretty good I think I can shoot off
Old KaiserBill Iron Cross yet
Tell them all that i was asking for them No more at present hoping
to hear from you again soon
Your Loving Hubbie
J Kay
