Dear Old Cock,

How is everything going, may I offer you my congrats. regarding your D.F.M. so sorry I am late but I didn’t know until I was told by “Ballanick”.

As you will see from the above address I am not too far away from your abode, so if we get a day Stand Down I will try & get over to see you.

How are the bints progressing I hope that the bad water is being removed without any bad effects. At the moment I am going steady with a bit whom I met at Cleveleys during my rest cure.

I have not heard from any of the boys lately, but I believe that the [sic] are all still O.K.

Must close now owing to B.O. which has just come out.

Cheerio for present

Your old chum

Johnnie. D.
