My dear old pal Vic,
Very many thanks for your letter, it was good hearing from you again – and I only wish I were going to fly with you again. Still there is always a chance that you may be transferred to Coastal Command, and if you get a chance of taking the G. R. Course at Blackpool, grab it quick. It is a glorious three months sea-side holliday [sic] – and you would have had the time of your life had you been on our course.
[page break]
I don't know whether you are packing in bags of flying hours – but we are just helping to wear out the chairs in the Mess. Of course, not having taken the conversion course, we are a bit akward [sic] to fit in – but never mind, we'll get weaving yet.
Eric, Audrey, Betsy & I have at last managed to get a couple of flats – after a great deal of difficulty and are hoping to start living out this week-end. This is a very lonely part of the country but Hunstanton is a pretty good spot – and I think we shall be O.K. there.
[page break]
I am afraid that nowadays it is impossible to pass on any sort of interesting news – but there is always the chance of it falling into places where it shouldn't – so I am afraid we shall have to skip it. Still the only interesting [thing] that happens to Eric and I is pay-day!!
Give my kind regards to "Tubby" and to “Dolfrey” when you write, and keep yourself out of trouble!
I apologise for the tiny piece of cake – but when I suggested sending you a large hunk – I was told that it wasn't done, so there you are!
[page break]
Betsy sends her very kind regards and says she still prefers "Betsy" to “[indecipherable word] Phillips" from you! Eric & An . . . (Mrs White!) send theirs also. Ain't you a lucky bloke!
Cheerio for now me old china,
Your pal.
Lofty.
