Dear Sir,

5th November 1942.

We have pleasure in advising you that we have to-day received the sum of £53-16-6d representing Outfit Allowance £45., Pay as per advice £8-16-6d, with which we have opened a Banking account in your name, in accordance with your request.

We enclose a cheque book for your use, and in this connection would draw particular attention to the rubber-impressed number appearing in the top left-hand corner of each cheque form. We would ask you to be good enough to quote this number in all communication to us, and to refrain from using any cheque except from your own book. Will you also kindly note to address all letters to our R3 Section, in which your account has been opened and, when changing your address, to ask us to amend our records accordingly. We propose to send you a statement of your account shortly after the 6th of every alternate month, and trust this will meet your wishes.

If there is any point upon which you desire our help at any time, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Yours faithfully,
