Was very glad to get your letter today. I have a little time right now so I will surprise you by answering right back, which is an unusual occurrence for me. I usually let it pile up on me for about 6 weeks and then try to catch up. Am glad to hear that all is well with you. I guess it is still the same old grind for everyone over there. I wonder if it acts as tiresome there as it does here doing the same old thing all the time.
I really could go for an evening like the bunch of us had at the apartment that night. I'll never forget Harold getting locked in the bathroom. All in all I guess we consumed quite a lot that night. I can remember quite a few good times all of us had together and I must confess that Maxies wasn't one of them. I was just thinking about that yesterday. I don't recall what any of the rest did, (at least nothing for them to feel foolish about) But I distinctly remember making a great sap out of myself, so much so, that I am seriously thinking of giving up all thought of drinking in mixed groups. I remember to my dismay of being a little vulgar that night for no very good reason. You are quite right I would rather forget that.
I think X-mas will be pretty good for me so far as many things are concerned. Naturally home would be better but as things stand now I am getting a much better break than I anticipated. We will have Sat. Sun. and Mon off which is bad at all considering how tough a good many thousand other fellows are having it. I am wondering about Dick- He is probably plenty busy with all the activity there is in the Pacific. Here's hoping he has lots of good luck. I guess there are a lot of boys from Hayward out that way over there. I think I am going to take my liberty on New Years and meet my nephew in London. I have been trying ever since I got over here to do that and this looks like my first chance.
Well folks this is a short letter but I guess it will have to do for now as I just can't find any thing more to write. So long for now and here's wishing you a new year of joy, happiness and lots of success.
As ever
Ellis
