Letter from Donald Brown to his parents

Letter from Donald Brown to his parents

Comments that he is very tired. Not very impressed with some air marshall congratulating them - more concerned that they have done 11 of their 30 operations. He's sorry to hear about his Aunt Minnie and commiserates with his father.

We got a personal congratulation from some Air Marshall when we got back yesterday for good work. Thats [sic] eleven of the thirty done anyrate. I am sorry to hear about Auntie Minnie. Poor old father

Tell him to take his own car so that he can come home for the evenings. I have tried the lighter but it still wont work. I have not had a chance to get my photo done yet but will do so as soon as possible. Well I dont [sic] think there is much more to say so cheerio.

Your loving son,
