Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document 2, Mepal Rd, Sutton, Ely, Cambs. 19.1.45. Dear Mrs Wareing, It may perhaps come as a surprise to you that I should write. S/L Hill very kindly gave me your address. In common with my Father & Mother, may I extend our sincere sympathy to you, that S/L Wareing & Flt. Leiut[sic] King should be prisoners of war. I trust that both he & Bob King are well physically. We have had the pleasure of meeting Bob, but never your husband. You may probably have heard of FO Blaydon [page break] [underlined] 2 [/underlined] (he was W/O in your husbands[sic] crew), and my brother. Poor old Reg did not come through & is buried with 3 others of the crew in a churchyard just out of Le Havre. According to the information we have received so far, it would seem that S/L Wareing was probably the last one to see Reg alive. I don’t suppose you have heard a great deal from your husband so far. I would esteem it a favour if you would give them both our kindest regards, & trust they will soon be safe home again. If you should hear anything from them about Reg, I would be [page break] [underlined] 3. [/underlined] pleased to have knowledge of it. I would like to write to them if you would be kind enough to let me have their addresses. This letter may not be all that I would like to say, but our feelings are rather low at present. Well, I wish you all the best Mrs Wareing, & bear up, as I am sure your husband will soon be home again. Yours Very Sincerely, Edwin George Blaydon Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document [inserted] replied 21/3/45 [/inserted] 2, Mepal Rd, Sutton, Ely, Cambs. 19.3.45. Dear Mrs Wareing, My Father and Mother, also myself, thank you very warmly for your most recent letter, dated Febj26th. I believe I ommitted[sic] to answer your previous letter. For this please accept my sincere apologies. As a matter of fact I am only now answering several letters that leave remained unanswered for some time. I just felt that I couldn’t at the time. Perhaps you understand. As the time passes, we think more and more [page break] [underlined] 2. [/underlined] of the brave lad we have lost. They are gentlemen, and white right through, these flying crews. Where would we have been without them? Father and Mother are bearing up well. Ours seems to be an unfortunate family in some things. My elder brother was killed on the road 10 years ago at the age of 25, and now the youngest has gone, leaving my sister, who is a nurse, and myself. I shall take the opportunity of writing to France[?] as soon as possible, as I feel that it will ease the strain that my parents are feeling. I would esteem it a favour if you would send our kind regards to your husband and Flt-Leiut[sic] King. I shall [page break] [underlined] 3. [/underlined] be proud to shake them by the hand when they return. Let us hope that this will not be long. Kind regards to yourself, and if I can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to write. Yours Very Sincerely, Edwin George Blaydow[?] P.S. I enclose a photograph of my late Brother, which I thought you might care to accept. It does not flatter him, as at the time he had a very severe cold.
