Dear Mamie

I received your letter to-night and am down town with Erin to-night and as he is busy writing I thought I would scribble you a few lines.  It has been pretty cold this last day or two but we get enough work to keep us warm.  There is another mix up in the mail I will be glad when I get to some permanent place.  I see Erin every night now and we have some good talks.  Tell the kids that they must write too sometimes.  Erin showed me a picture that he had got of you all tonight and do not think I would have known any of them they have grown so much.  I have not heard from home lately but I suppose there is a letter or two some place on road for me.  I suppose Rae is as lazy as ever about writing.  Well Mammie I guess I will have to quit for to-night.   So goodbye for this time from your Loving Brother John
