Letter from Reginald Weeden to his mother
Title
Letter from Reginald Weeden to his mother
Description
Reports that mail situation was poor and he had not received any letters lately. Wished that he could have come home and seen them rather than staying in Canada. Writes that things were much the same there, flying, lectures and other duties. Mentions his current duty and says it has been a vast change since being a Leading Aircraftman. Hope his allowance was still getting through to her, although there might have been a temporary stop as he had had to renew all his paperwork.

My dear Mum,
The mail situation to date has been very poor, haven’t heard from anyone yet, lets hope it improves this month. I wish I could have come home instead of stopping out here, it would have been so good to have seen you all again and definately [sic] something to celebrate especially now, so I am looking forward to this in the near future. Things are much the same out here, flying, lectures and other duties that have fallen upon me now. Tonight I am officer in charge of the Intelligence Library – very interesting. There is a vast change since L.A.C and I am sure you feel just as pleased about it all. By the way I hope my allowance is still coming through to you, it may have been temporally [sic] stopped, for I had to renew my forms, this has now been seen to, so I hope everything is O.K. If you need any more just let me know. Well, I hope you are all well at home especially yourself and Evelyn. Write soon. All my best to Dennis and Bill
