and if there's any 'fraid left after five minutes I'll eat my tin helmet.
Hain't you got none of them scads of letters I wrote from Luxembourg and Germany? I cain't see no signs yet though they must have been on the way nearly a month when you last wrote. I know I axed a lot of questions I wanted to know about: maybe I'll think of them again before my next letter.
It's just about your time for Sunday evening lunch, but for me quite late enough for bed. Pajamas! (pun on your "nightie") - which reminds me, I have one old suit of pajamas in my lost bedding roll, one old pair in my trunk, and two suits stolen from a hospital train. None is particularly scrumptious to wear to bed with a lady, but I can get along somehow without your making any. I may even be able to buy some suitable for wear under domestic conditions. So there! XXXXX Conger. 
Indeed, after what you tell me, I'm satisfied to have you forget the pajamas.
