Dearest Big Sis,
Here comes a report from your little brother. I’m doing swell and hope you are the same. I guess you are now cramming lots in your brain at dear old Eastern aren’t you. I wonder if I’d make a school teacher. (Who me?)
I’m still somewhere in Northern Ireland & still SCRATCHED OUT OR CENSORED. [Looks like it says “in school”]
You should see the atmosphere I’m surrounded by tonight. Today was payday & tonight there are about fifteen different games of chance going on here in the barracks. I guess I’ll indulge soon as I finish this distant conversation with you. (Now can you imagine that?) I though so.
I want a picture or some snap shots of you. Do you have any now.
Well be good & don’t do anything I wouldn’t & if you do name it after me.
Love
your little Bro.
