My Dear Folks
I have been expecting mail for the past two weeks, but since nothing has as yet been forthcoming, I decided I had [underlined] better write again [/underlined] to let you know that I am still alive & well. I am also getting rather anxious (in view of recent development) for Basil's safety. You naturally will be unable to say anything but that he is OK. [underlined] Please forward all my letters on to him, [/underlined] - I cannot write direct, and please explain to him the situation.
I assume that you are now fully acquainted with what can be sent to me. A razor and some blades would be a welcome addition to the T. Paste & Brushes I requested in my last letter. Will you also surrender my cheque book, and ask the bank to send me a statement now, and one every 3 months in future. When I was at the station, I earned for myself a [underlined] 2nd Class navigator's certificate. [/underlined]
Will you procure this for me? or get Philip Gales to do so. I believe that my caterpillar should have differently coloured eyes for my having made two jumps. I have informed Pip of this, & would like you to see that I get it. _ Did you get [underlined] my silver cigarette case? [/underlined].
There is little to report from this end, except the unbroken monotony of life. I think I have read more books in the last two months than in 6 years prior to them. What to me is the most obnoxious is the waste of valuable time. Life is short enough without spending years in such places as these. However, I suppose I am exceedingly lucky to be able to look forward to “after the war” at all. Please send my [underlined] uniform [/underlined] as soon as possible, and other neccessities (sic) such as shirts, collars, ties, shoes & a pair of braces.
Hope by now that have had & enjoyed your holiday. Tell Pa not to kill himself at work. Love to staff & all friends & Gwen. Alan
