Tuesday

My dear Ma.

I arrived back after an uneventful journey but was wondering what had become of you! I waited till the last second and then had to get on the train as it was moving! I hope the holiday hadnt been too much for you and that you were unable to come because you were not feeling well!

I thoroughly enjoyed myself and hope you did too, and considering it was a wartime Xmas we didnt do so badly for grub did we? Thank you both for your efforts and for the Xmas presents. Also convey to Karsten my

Well cheerio

love

Frank.
