cousin Annie. Perhaps the Miss Harper, is one of Cousin Jennie's friends, who were squabbling about the color of my eyes. Am glad to know I caused a bit of a commotion somewhere, at some period of my life. Its to be hoped no blood was spilt. Talking of short-bread, I've lived on it since I joined the army, we are always getting short bread, sometimes none at all. I am awfully sorry your proud feelings, will have to undergo a slight change in the addressing of my letters, as the Sergeant Gordon, is done with for some time & you will have to go back to just plain Corp. Any how Nell, I hope to be able to change those feelings back to the old channel again at some far, future date. Thank Mum & Jen for their congratulations & tell them that they will do for next time. Give my regards to all, & tell Arch to be more careful in future, about dropping his plates. I will close with best love & lots of kisses from Al.
P.S. Please pardon to scribble, but these letters are written under great difficulties. The last one I wrote, I set fire to with the candle after I had written it. Al
