Dear Mum & Dad & Joyce.

I arrived at the Falls Hotel yesterday morning, and am having a grand time. I met Mrs T & June, and Mrs T has been jolly good to me and my pal, Harry.

The Falls are a marvellous sight.

Well folks I hope you had a merry Christmas. I’ve been thinking of you all back home.

Fondest love John
