Dear Mother:-

Received two of your welcome letters the other day dated Jan 24 and Feb 6th and was glad to hear from you. Well I might as well tell you for to give up expecting me home for a couple of months by what I hear all A.1. men go back to the reserve and wait for their division till it comes from France so the one I am in doesen't leave France till some time in April.

Did Meadie Beaton marry a Widower like the rest of them did.

I am going on leave tomorrow morning for a few days.

I must close.

Good Bye.

Allan.

P.S. type this add on my letters until I get back to the reserve
