Saturday Evening 5/18

My dear Aut.

I received letters from you today. (Two.) Also from Frannie, Stan and Louise. Also about twelve or fourteen from Home. You can imagine how glad I was. No letters for some time as they were all held up on account of the parcels.

Aut it was awfully good of you to send me that ten dollars for the coat. I spent it when I was on pass because I hadn't heard that it was for that. I now see why they put "[James Austin?]" on the [lable?]. I am going to save up so will be able to by the coat.

Wasn't it fine the way
