Some fellows are leaving on furloughs the 2, 3 & 4 of January they came in from the 1st to the tenth of this year. As there were a lot came in about this time Im still quite a way down the line. I do hope Im closer home when I get mine as I'd hate only having a couple of days at home. It would just be a tease. We are to be paid the 31st of this month if nothing happens. I should get corporals pay this month which will be [written as addition equations) 6.25 2.25 8.50 66.00 8.50 $57.50 less whatever other deductions they can think up should get $55 anyhow so I should start out the new year in good financial standing. Several of the fellows were late getting back from their furloughs. they were broken down in rank, fined $4.40 for each day overdue and restricted to the post for from 15 to 30 days. Pretty rough eh. Your package of cookies must be lost for sure, darn it, why do we have such bad luck? Got my notice the 23rd and when I went over to get it they couldnt find it, went back the next day they still couldnt find it but took the number off my slip and said they would send me a new one if they did find it. They havent sent one so it must not be found yet. glad it was insured as hard as it is to get sugar. Im run down. Love Johnny Dont care what kind of a pup. Females are smarter but [illegible] was sure a small pooch.
