My dearest one, Yesterday & today were good days for me, I received seventeen letters eleven of which were from you. I was very pleased to know you have had the baby and both of you are doing well. I think David Ian are very nice names, I should call him by his second name, I like David but don't like Dave. I also get very queer letters from Bib, but it is very nice of him to write. I have received two cig parcels, one from Frank & the other unknown love. W.
