Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document MR. & MRS. H.A. WITTY, 63 FARNDALE AVENUE, SOUTHCOATES LANE, HULL, YORKS., ENGLAND. 381897 Sender’s Name and Address: 1520694 L.A.C. WITTY A.R., R.A.F., 48 AIR SCHOOL, WOODBROOK, EAST LONDON, SOUTH AFRICA Date:15/3/43 [underlined] PART I [/underlined] Dear Mum, Dad, Hazel and Norman, Here is the weekly bulletin. Please excuse the sparsity of letters from me just recently and just hang on for a week or so. In two days’ time we shall be starting on our exams and by the weekend we should know our fate one way or the other. [underlined] If [/underlined] we get through O.K. we [underlined] may [/underlined] get a week’s leave here before being posted. If we’re unlucky we shall go on to the next course, which is due to finish 3 weeks later. As a matter of fact I have received very little correspondence from you all during the past week, although I did get an Air Mail letter from Norman today (dated 26th Jan). I think it would be better for you just to send Airgraphs – they’re much faster and take only 3 weeks to come. There is definitely no Air Mail Service for ordinary letters. I’m pleased to [deleted] here [/deleted] hear you had a mild winter and amused to learn of the latest developments on the site of the unexplained bombs. It certainly looks as though the blighters want to keep their easy job and don’t particularly want to find the egg. Cheerio now. I’ll continue on a second form. Your affectionate, Ron XXXXXX Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Letter from Ron Witty to his mother, father and siblings Description An account of the resource Part 1. Writes that his lack of letters is due to studying hard for exams and says what will happen when they are completed. Says he has not had much mail from home either and suggest they use airgrams which are faster. Catches up with gossip.
