Dear Junior,

Now that you have read through all the bullshit you come to a “real letter” written by a fellow Englishman.

I’m glad to hear that you are progressing OK Don, make haste and get well and get back to us before we kill all the spare engineers around the place, at least if we don’t kill them out right, we frighten them to death.

I think Bill has told you all the news so there is nothing left for me to say except that Colin and Ross have [indecipherable word] a grade lower and picked up two bags (WAAF types) over the weekend, thank God you and I are pure. Bill is still spending his spare time in the hay stacks while Dan and I try and keep up a good name for the crew. That’s all for now, cheerio and lots of luck

Robby
