Dear Mother:-
It seems ages since I have heard from you and really it is almost as long as it seems for a little over three months have gone by since your last letter arrived. I know that you have written but they evidently have been lost. I have written several
times since your last one came but I fear they also have gone astray. The interrupted mail service is our greatest inconvenience. Had a letter from Sis about a month ago saying you were contemplating a change of location. She said you had in mind W. Virginia and Jamaica. What have you done about it? What is your present address? [Perhaps] that is why you do not hear from us.
How about our allotments, have they been allowed and paid? Write me about all of the things you think I'd like to know.
Art and I are both well and [everything] is about the same as formerly except that the weather is much more pleasant. Also we have hopes of returning sometime in the near future. I do hope we are lucky enough. It'll be a few months yet anyway but
time goes fast so we may see you [all] before we had hoped after all. All this is uncertain yet even at that it makes one feel sort of happy.
Once more I urge you to write often and long. Give my love to dad and make him write.
Your loving son,
Algy
