down & it will be 16/10 d return for both. So PLEASE send £1 as soon as you get the letter so that I may travel on Friday morning. I shall just get it in time, if you post it as soon as you receive this letter.

    (Dear Ma, I’m having lots of fun I’m sending you the Siegfried Line 15 to hang your washing on.)

    Dear Mum & Dad,

    Thank you very much for your letter of yesterday morning. I should like you to send me some money if I cannot present the cheque, as after having posted this letter our total fortune will be 1½ d , just enough to write another letter.
    I have seen Mr. Clark 16 again & he said that he will do his best to move John from that place as soon as possible.
    We were having quite a good lot of entertainment this week, including film shows, lectures, 1 party & dancing. John has been to pictures twice this week & I once – I should appreciate, that if you send money, you would state how much belongs to me and how much to John. This pleasure is not going to last much longer, as next week school proper starts again & I shall have to study hard for the Cambridge [School Certificate].
    I can hardly think of any other news, so – lots of love from

    Dear Mum & Dad,

    Thank you very much for the money received on Saturday. I received our telegram too, which you must have sent shortly before my letter arrived, as I posted one Friday morning. I am sorry I caused you worry really there was no need for it.
    Rosemary had a party yesterday, we had some nice things to eat. John was there too however I had to leave after tea, as I had to go to a Scouts party, where we had a lot of games. I had a nice present too from Mr. Kelly – everyone got something – an aeroplane constructing set. John had one too.
    We are getting quite a lot of homework now, & I am sure we shall have more later on.
    John has not been moved yet. I shall have to see the billeting officer again to-morrow.
    I cannot think of anything else to write (oh yes! I sent you the bill for my watch instead of John’s guarantee. Please send me one back. Also please send my shaving brush, and 2 collars I left at home. Hope I can cash the cheque soon, as I want socks, handkerchiefs, Scout trousers, watch repairs money, & other things too that I cannot think of just now). John has been to pictures twice this week & I have not been at all. His landlady wants him out of doors most of the time. That’s why he gets the money to go to pictures. (He always has to go for nice long walks.)

    I don’t think there is anything else so lots of love & kisses & don’t be angry – from Andrew.

    Dear Noni,

    Thank you for your letter. I have not had such a good time on New Year’s Eve as you. I was in bed. I did not celebrate the New Year at all. One can do nothing about it. Be calm, I think about you when I don’t write. I am just too lazy and I have homework to do as well.

    Your Andrew

    Dear Mum & Dad,

    I hope you received John’s letter on Saturday so that you did not worry over the weekend. Thank you for the 2/- as well for which I did not have a chance to thank you yet. I had 9 d left to see ‘The Spy in Black’ with John tomorrow. I am sorry to say but money does not seem to last long. I hope I can cash the cheque soon, as I want some socks, handkerchiefs, Scout shorts, a spare pair of trousers, mending wool, bicycle repairs, shirts for Johnny etc. rather badly. Please send a little more next letter.
    I have talked enough about money so I shall leave that for a while. I have arranged for John to be able to have a bath at Melksham House every Thursday for 3 d . Starting next Thursday. That will be his first bath since we came back from London. I do hope he will be moved soon, or alternatively that you will bring him back to London, as he does not
