Cark,
Friday.
Dearest,
I don’t know if you saw today’s paper, but I have passed the Contract & Tort. I got a third, which isn’t very good, but just good enough. I have just written to my former tutors, thanking them for their assistance.
I got an unexpected letter from home today, It enclosed this photo of Bob, which I think is a very good likeness, & also an airgraph from my aunt in Tasmania. Apparently she has sent me a Christmas parcel, but it hasn’t arrived yet, so I’ve written to find out what has happened to it.
That’s all for now.
All my love, darling,
Harold.

P.S. have just heard from a pupil that Shaw (at Little Rissington) has been posted to a Wimpey O.T.U. for heavies. I bet that’ll shake him!
P.P.S. I have been looking at my Savings Certificates, and find that I have exactly 50. On second thoughts I’ll send you my book, & then you can get your mother to put in it as many as you like, after you’ve filled your book.
