Dear Mrs. Wareing,
I have just returned from leave and I cannot tell you how pleased I am that you have received news of Bob, and I sincerely hope it won’t be many weeks before we see him in the Mess at Market Harborough.
You do not state whether you have passed on the good news to his Squadron and if you have not already done so I would suggest that you send them copies of the letters as soon as possible as they may be able to obtain further information through Air Ministry.
With kindest regards.
Yours sincerely,
[signature]
Mrs. J. Wareing,
