Dear Ma, Pa and Ruth.

The air mail must be held up because I didnt receive any mail from you yesterday or today. I received a letter from Art. The weather has been fine today. There hasn’t been any real cold weather here yet. I got my leave O.K so I will be leaving here this Saturday coming. I will arrive at Toronto Monday morning and will be there all day. I hope Art will be able to get down there. It sure will be swell to see him. It sure will be swell to get home again. There was no show here tonight but there is one tomorrow. I got my shoes back from the shoemakers yesterday. He charged me $1.80. I hope you got the money order that I sent O.K. I am O.K. I hope Ma, Pa and Ruth that you are all O.K. Well that is all for today. I will write again tomorrow.

Love to all,

Rubert.
