Here.

7th May 1940.

My Dear Doris.

Well, Doris here I am back in Cosford, after a sleepy & boring journey. How are you both, quite well I hope?

I must thank yourself & Arthur for the nice time you gave Georgie & I, the tea was champion. I am sorry I was to blame for our lapse in correspondence, but I was under the impression you were owing me one. We liked the way you & Art have arranged your home it looks very nice & comfortable.

Well, so far this week we have done little more than sun-bath [sic], & I am getting very brown, good war eh? Further news is scarce for now so I will say cheerio & all the very best to you both.

Love

Arthur
