Dear Aunt Louise

            Rec’d your most welcome letter yesterday and sure was glad to hear from you and that you wasn’t in the fire district as I sure had some scare when I heard about it.

            I would have ans. your letter yesterday but I didn’t have any money then and have only got ten dollars now and you will find that enclosed and if you send any more I will divide up with you when I get up there as I have another pay day before I reach you.

            We have just got done firing short range battle practise so there isn’t any more to fire before we come up so we will be up there on the thirtienth & you can expect to see me within 48 hours after that.

 

            Well will have to close for this time and ans soon, as Ever

                                                                      Joe
