My dear Mum,
I had a letter from Mrs. Ashton today, saying that you had written to her which was very sweet of you – of course I hope you didn’t say to [sic] much of me – no doubt you did, do you know they spoil me so much, perhaps because there are only girls in the family, I am spending my 48 with them next week-end, so I shall hear all about it then. Just heard that I am getting five days leave at Christmas, so we are going to have a swell party, only wish it was my party with you all at home, but under the circumstances, lets all enjoy ourselves then, I will be thinking of you all. By the way I wrote a letter to Dennis last week, enclosing a couple of snaps – I am collecting the portraits next Saturday so will send them on soon after. Well, I hope you are all well especially you and little Evelyn, must close now, all my best to Dennis and Bill, My love to you
