Kay Darling,

Thanks dear for your letter received yesterday.

I wrote on Monday to Joe & explained what we wanted so maybe there will be some joy.

The other letter was waiting for me when I returned, I think in future it would be better to use the above address.

D.V. I will be home on Friday night plus I hope some [two indecipherable words].

Went to the Camp Flicks the other night Abbott & Costello in "Lost in an [sic] Harem." Grim!

Found a pub last night, very quiet but can get some shouting.

Will post this at lunch time, I didn't write sooner in case the weekend was mess up.

Good bye dearest

Yours always

Jim
