Thanks her for letter and says she did not need to put squadron number in address. Asks about her trip to Birmingham. Continues with domestic matters and answers questions. Mentions he had written to parents.

As before.
June 7-43.

My Own Darling Kay,

Thanks a lot for your nice letter.

Before I go any further, there is no need to mention the Squadro [sic] No in my address.

You went to B'ham after all? What did you buy if any?

Yes, I received the telegram from Archie, I wondered how he remembered what date my birthday.

What on earth made you book into the Midland Hotel?

I certainly think the kidney shaped table sounds good.

Still keeping on top & getting quite a share of 'Oh be joyful'. Will you pop into G & Spaldings & order a few [deleted] enge [/deleted] enlargements, you remember the ones I liked. I should like to send one to your people & one to mine.

Have written to Mother & Dad & now I have to drop Bert a note of receipt.

Be good sweetheart hope to see you soon.

All my love

Yours always

Jim.

PS. Have named our Kite. 'NULLI SECONDUS' & same has been duly painted on, & instead of painting bombs on the side we are having empty tankards.

Jim
