[underlined] Letter No. 5. [/underlined]
Monday. 8.30 am.
My Dear Mother & Dad,
What a time to write a note! The reason is I am just off duty & am going to bed. I wish to tell you I am O.K. as are the boys & unless I write to you right now I shall be too late for the post when I get up later today.
As I have no mail from you to acknowledge I will not make this a long letter because I am very tired at the moment.

Expect there will be news from you later today.
Cheerio for now. All my love & best wishes.
Douglas
