You folks speak of my not writing t)an Gbiffin. Really, I am ashamed of myself for not writing him, but it 6eems that every time I do get a few hours or minutes off there is so much that I need to do on my personal equipment and that I have no time to write any one except you folks. I am going to try and catch up with my letter writing in the next day or two, though I may be kept too busy again. You tell all my frieBds I will write them as soon as I can. Tell Lee and Marion Reas hello for me. I would like to write to all of them, and will if I get a chance. Tell Effie Ellen to use my allowance of sugar, and tell grandmother I would like to see her and I hope she is in good health; tell her to write me. I was sorry to hear of the death of Mrs. Fred Wolfe. Clarence has my sympathy.Father, I received the lot of Tuxedo you sent me and have plenty of tobacco at present I sure thank you, as it goes fine in my old pipe. Write often.CORPORAL COLWELL FRAKES.
