Letter [underlined] No 26. [/underlined]
Saturday. 5.30 pm.
My Dear Mother & Dad,
I am writing this letter out of doors on a very warm afternoon. It really is pleasant today & very warm & the blossom on the hedges is looking its best.
Thank you for your letter No. 25, I mean in reply to my 25 which came at lunch time today, & thank you also for preparing to send my suitcase along. If you have sent it passenger train & put my address on the form I shall receive notification to collect it from the station, so that should be O.K.
I received notification from the Bank again today giving another statement of my account & I have been credited with another month’s pay for March. I must have been dim before not to realise that this was due.
So far I have only smoked the Turkish No. 6. Cigarettes from the brown & chocolate packet
[page break]
so I cannot say which I prefer, but I will let you know when I have sampled the others, in time for the celebration.
Did Mother have her hair permed again or just reset? She said she was looking spick & span, but didn’t state what type of coiffeur had been effected.
I am continuing my letter on Sunday afternoon & hope to take it to town tonight to post so it should reach you in the morning. I am not on duty again tonight. It is another marvellous day, probably the hottest of the year. I & the boys are still all O.K. as is Rooster. Incidentally this is letter No. 26. While the working record is on I find it almost a disappointment not being on duty tonight. Maybe they think we need shut eye. All my love & best wishes. Douglas.
