My Dear Harry, I should like to buy Mother & Dad a decent present in England if I can when we get out, but simply can’t decide what they’d really like so perhaps you can make a few suggestions. As it seems probable that well [sic] be free soon, address your letter to Rhod. House & if Im [sic] wrong they can forward it. Good show about the good crop & high prices! How is the (your) family? Best love to you all from Donald.
