Tuesday Morning 22^nd June

Dear Mother and Family,

Hullo! everybody, its nearly 12 o’clock , it’s a beautiful morning and I’ve just climbed out of bed – reminds me of Sunday mornings at home, what? Lazy type, mainly because he’s abit of a night bird these days, barging about the place in total darkness and sleeping in total daylight. By the way, just in case this arrives before my letters, I hereby state heartiest congrats and all the best to Margaret and Bob and long may she reign – see what Bob says about that. Guess they’ve stolen a crafty year or so on Nan and I, but we’ll catch up in rapid time when this war is over. Been away just lately for a bit over a week on a course where we digested bags of “gen” and our crew is now highly and fully organised – we reckon. Can’t cover much detailed news in these airgraph efforts but will write a long letter soon, telling of all my doings for the last couple of weeks. NB. CONFESSION – haven’t written for a couple of weeks but are now attempting to catch up again. Very glad to hear my English letters have finally started arriving Mum – here’s hoping they keep it up and now before I smack into this bottom line I’ll wish you all the very best and bags of love to all
