Well Al I better not keep on talking about Florrie and little Al or I will do the baby act and any way its pretty near time for chow but I suppose you will wonder what am I talking about when I say chow. Well Al that’s the name we boys got up down to Camp Grant for stuff to eat and when we talk about food instead of saying food we say chow so that’s what I am getting at when I say its pretty near time for chow.

Your pal, Jack .
