Darling,
Just been told I can have my 6 days leave from A.D Hours Sunday 2nd Feb to 23.59 HRS on Saturday 8th.
So this means I should get home Sunday evening, jump for joy. Hope you are quite OK, because I have felt in the mood all this week, if you are not you had better read that randy book again, but don’t over do it!
As the past week has been none too good for flying we have gone back to the keep fit campange, [sic] one afternoon we played a free for all football game, and the next afternoon all the flying crews had to go for a 6 mile ramble this was very informal no marching just strolling along in your own particular click.
I must rush to S.H.Q. to see our pay clerk about getting some cash before Sunday, and as the post goes at 3.30 I had better get this in the box [deleted] in case [/deleted] So that you will get it by Saturday morning.
All my love Darling:
