Dear Mum, Dad, Hazel and Norman,
I’m a day late in writing you again, I’m afraid you see, we spent yesterday at the Smyth’s. I believe I mentioned those good people last week. We (Fred Rolph and I) had another very pleasant day. It’s almost like being at home again. We do just as we please, and it came as a great relief to spend a whole day out of camp away from the monotonous environment.
I received the E.F.M. telegram 2 or 3 days ago (I believe I took either 8 or 9 days to arrive). I have been almost flooded out with letters recently. I got the letter from Hazel containing Sudd’s letter, a letter from Pop (dated 5th Jan), an airgraph from Sudd, and one from Andy. If I’m a little late in answering please forgive me, but just at present we’re getting into the thick of the work and I do some swotting nearly every night because there’s such a lot to learn. The examinations begin in two weeks’ time, so by the time you receive this my “fate” will have been decided. If I pass O.K. I shall leave here soon afterwards, but carry on sending the letters, etc. here till you get a new address. All my love Ron XXXX
