Dear Mother!

 

Just a few lines to let you 

know that I’m still O.K. I haven’t had 

a reply from Dave yet, unless you got it 

after I left. I’ll probably be sending a 

parcel of washing to you tomorrow. Send 

the handkerchiefs back as soon as you can.

                 I’m enclosing £5 for that 

eiderdown if there is any change you can 

keep it. You should get a cash sale bill for 

the eiderdown, so post it on to me. If you 

don’t, I’ll know Jane is lying then. Not

that it matters, only if she is, then she 

has had anything in the future.

                 What I said about having 

to wait three months for my next leave 

seems to be coming true. They have started 

a new scheme on the leave programme, so 

don’t expect me home till about June. By 

that time I should have finished my thirty 

trips. I have done two more since leave and 

we are on again tonight.

                      You’ll have to excuse the 

writing, I didn’t use a table for it.

 

Cheerio, 

             Love, Wilf.
