 Hello
Old Man, |
Very pleased to hear from you again, and sorry I couldnt answer before.
No I dont like those kisses from the cat, but a smell of that rabbit
cooking would be very nice. So you are quite swell with your Air Force suit
[one of his boys must have joined the Air Cadets]. Whats the matter with
you all have you gone air force crazy. Say listen Son, your mother tells
me you have been a bad boy. Whats the matter with you. You know you
promised me that you would be good, and look after mother for me but it
doesnt look as if you are. You had better buck up or Ill be
coming home and use my stick again. Gee you and John sure have grown a lot.

Fancy weighing all that much. John sure will be a big man now he has so
many ties wont he. Well old fellow I guess this is about all for this
time. So will close hoping to hear that you are a good boy again.
From your old Dad
And Pal
Jack
John Robert Osborn, Jamaica, to Gerald Osborn, Winnipeg, 9 April 1941. |
