Dear Mrs Birt,

I am in Liverpool for a little while on the way to my Squadron, I wish I could tell you where [underlined] that [/underlined] is but, of course, I can’t. I have just been trying to find one of your letters which you wrote around the middle of April, but I am afraid that my batman has thrown it away with some other papers which were for scrap, so that is that. Anyway, I still have Beth’s letter, which

she wrote about the same time. I was at home for a few short hours yesterday, father said that he had had a letter from you, and is writing to you again soon. The postal system seems to be working quite well now, doesnt [sic] it? The chambermaid has just come in and keeps on talking to me, she is a nice old soul but whatever shall I do to keep her quite? [sic] I think I shall have to go into the writing room. Ah, it is all right now, she is just going. By the way, I think that I must have missed one of your letters,

as Beth says that you have moved and there is no mention of that in any of your letters. I hope the new house is as nice as the one in London, Mrs Birt. You would laugh if you could come and see ours, though. No electric light [underlined] or [/underlined] gas, we are right away in the country. But it is quite a little farm now. We have only one pig [deleted] lelft [sic] [/deleted] left,

unfortunately, the others have been eaten. Very good they were, too. I am not quite sure if I can [deleted] [indecipherable word] [/deleted] give you my address, (Service) at the moment, but I think I can. I am going to ask the Adjutant to-morrow. You see, it has just occurred to me that I do not have to mention the number of my Squadron, and that is the most important thing.

By the way, the other chap in my room at this club is a Canadian Army Lieutenant. I think we will go to the theatre to-night, or else to a dance.

Love to all,

[underlined] George [/underlined]
