Letter to Sister

7-10-17[sic]

Dearest Sister:–

I received you letter tonight and was glad to get it, allso five others and some enclosed so I spent a long time reading them

I feel good sister such good is going to come from me enlisting. I would that I could only talk to all of you on what I have received from the word of God sister don’t neglect to read a portion every day and memorize some of the verses the ones that seem to mean more to you than others, Like a boy who was changing his life at Witley if he had only met me sooner if I had only known what God was waiting to give me sooner I would not have waited till now to be over here,

I am so glad that Mother sees Dak. just as I did last year and she will prize canada more after she is home over night again, May God bless old canada if I never see it again, in the words of boys Good old canada.

I have heard from Elmer by cards twice since I came over but have only written to him once.

Well bye bye my little sister don’t be lonely but make the most out of every day don’t spend years before you see what God has in store for those who love him.

as ever your loving brother Laurie
