My darling Mummy & Daddy.

Thank you for your letters. I also wrote to Ronald Raymond and Mr. Bean & Aierses on the 6th but I have had no reply. No there was nothing particular in it nothing about the strap, but [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] said the bathrooms are very bad. Yes I wear a warm shirt and a pullover. The school does not take a record of heights and weights. I have not taken mine yet. You do not get monthly reports just three in the whole year. I hope your stiff neck will soon be allright. [sic] We are playing Sherwood A today. It is a tournament match. I hope we win. I received a letter from Lall today isn’t that fine.?. I was very pleased. I am writing to Cox today. It rained a bit about two days ago.

It makes us so happy to hear all about them, and how things are getting on. I will try and write 2 letters a week every week. [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] Hopkroft (1) is here the good singer who was in St. Pauls choir. He is a special. Lall said that the new Rector [deleted] was [/deleted] [inserted] is [/inserted] a good sport. No more news today with love from your loving
