Postcard from John Mansell to his parents

John writes that little has happened. There have been musical recitals. Some words have been blacked out by the censor.

My dear Mum and Dad, Very little has happened since last I wrote. The weather is a bit colder, so I am doing a bit more study. During the week I have been to a few musical recitals, the two best being “Boris Goudonov” [sic] and “La Traviata” – next Sunday there is “Il Trovatore”. “French without Tears” is starting on Monday. Just read Dad’s of May 21st [censored word] Very glad to hear about Michael Floyd & Row. My only parcel is still the one sent off in December. Must stop now, Love to all, John. any day now!
