Dear Aunt A, Thanks so much for your letters. We are all doing fine here – all happy and confident. Parcels are coming thro’ quite well, and I’ve had one from V.S.H. already. I’m going to study Spanish & my Insurance this winter. Hope to be quite clever when this war is over. Give my love to all the folks at home. Will be seeing you all soon. Love [underlined] Sedric [/underlined]
