Dear Evyleen: Received your letter the other day being glad to get all the news, wrote Mother and Clystal the other day. I am sure you are busy at your school work, do you still have the same bend on your back? I am now in a Y.M.C.A. on account of the rain, we are continuing our march either this evening, or tomorrow morning. You may tell Mother I received three of her parcels and [crossed out: one] two from Clystal, they
(2.) are certainly very nice, Earl is also getting his now, the only trouble is that they are coming all at once. Do you and Merle be together as much as ever, I suppose you played quite a bit of ball this summer. Where we billeted last was in a French School, it was very nice there being a great many peculiar pictures etc. Must close for now
With Love
Sefton.Transcriber
