Dear Jessie
I am getting your letters quite regular now during our break from ten to half past and I look forward to that sit down with your letter and a cup of tea. Its a real joy Dear.
We've not been out anywhere this week except for our nightly stroll down the N.A.A.F.I. canteen. There we have a cup of tea and cake (twopence [sic]) and laugh over our days work they hope to have a radio and darts there soon but I suppose that will be after we've gone. Shorts and [correction was “any”] Gym [deleted] sp [/deleted] slips have been issued today and we start P.T. next week. Today has been easy owing to our stiff arms and we had pay parade this afternoon. I received five pounds. I am trying to wangle new boots on the strength of mine being too small. I hope its [sic] works.
Yesterday afternoon we had to write an essay on the Progress of the War. It was an awful shock but I struggled through and it sounded rather good when it was finished
Two of the boys are on a weekend leave so three of us are going
[page break]
after church on Sunday. We must get a change from Bexhill or we shall all go nuts.
Got a good library book this [sic] called "Lenin" God of the Godless". Oh and dont get thinking you can hug me to sleep when I get home. I'm feeling like two men now. The morse is a bit of a bind How nice it would be [sic] learn it like we did the Three Course Method and 90° turn. You know you're by far the sweetest instructor I ever had.
Sorry to hear Mum is queer and hope she is better now Tell her I will write at the first opportunity. Had a fourpenny haircut in the hotel yesterday quite good. You seem to be getting some nice programmes on the wireless. I wish we had one here
Well its nearly tea time so cheerio till tomorrows letter and before I close todays letter from you was [inserted] the [/inserted] best so far you [sic] writing very well.
Love to all from
Your always loving husband
Harry
