Hi Ma,

It costs $40.00 to ship the bike down here. Fred got his OK but his cost $35.00 because his was lighter.

I got my bars a week ago last Saturday and I am on the new job. So far I have very busy and I don't mean maybe.

Dave Davoren was made Major yesterday. The gang got a letter from Al yesterday and he seems to be happy.

I made out an allotment to Ruth but when I got my appointment, it was dropped so I have to make it out all over again.

As ever

Charlie
