My dear Mum,
Sorry not to have written sooner but I have been extremely busy the last week or so, flying etc., yesterday 7 1/2 hours, came back dog tired, tomorrow we will be at it again so you see I have hardly a minute to spare especially with the other ground subjects. Its a good job I have somewhere pleasant to go to at the week-ends to relieve the monotony. I shall be going to my friends next week for my 48 hour pass, they are very nice people and we have a grand time together. Its been simply scorching the last week or so, this makes you dead-beat, how is it at home? Oh! by the way when Dennis writes a letter, could you let me have a snap of all of you, do you realize I haven’t got one at all. I hope you have received my snaps by now, I sent a few others last week, I expect this airgraph will arrive first though. I heard from my friend in Oxford that the works were allotting me a £1 a month from the Service Fund that has been just formed, it will be sent to you, this will help pay for my party when I come home. Well I must close now, for have my flight plan to prepare. So Goodnight for now and love
Yours Reg xxxxxx
