My own darling Dad,
Thank you so much for your letter and all your news. It is very kind of Mr. Carberry [?] to offer to stand as referee, but I have already sent in my papers, please thank him for me Dad. If I don’t get into the R.A.F. they will be missing something!!! I am sorry to hear about poor Aunty Phil and I do hope she pulls round.
I wouldn’t credit all you hear about Uncle Serbe [?] because some people don’t see any difference between the truth and lies. Yesterday Mr and Mrs Stuart and family gave us a look up as the day before I met Jean at Marble Arch and gave her [deleted] a look up [/deleted] our address. We gave them tea and then Steve Henry and I went off to tennis. Henry has the real Wimbledon style and he beat me 6 – 1, but he did not get off so easily with Steve, [deleted] and [/deleted] for Steve beat him 9 – 7. Jolly good. Without regular practice or anything of that sort. While Henry has been coached. I think Steve might yet become a champ and I might too. I hope poor old Prince gets O.K. soon and that business will improve again. Mr Moore my tutor said that I am improving, but as so few are taken it will be a devil of a job getting in. But he also said I am not a
[page break]
hopeless case. Anyway now for the next two months I will speed up my work at the same I will try and get exercise, either tennis or swimming. Before I forget, Henry has asked us to play at Wimbledon and we don’t quite know whether to accept or not. We had our suits dry cleaned the other day at a sale cleaning. They did everything quite well and gave us lovely black wire hangers with the suits. I will be getting a new blue suit one of these day for the interview etc.
Mr Moore has given me the names of certain books to read, by modern authors. I have already read Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy. It is an awfully good book, though it is tragic all the way through. I also listen in now and again to plays and other items in the wireless which will help me in the General Knowledge paper. I will have to get about 65 – 70% on the exam as a whole if I want to get in. D.V. I will do it. In my next letter I will give you my account after this month. You will be quite surprised. Well no more to-day Dad, God bless and keep you and bring you back safely to us, with lots of love and kisses from your loving son
[underlined] David. [/underlined]

300, Marylebone Road,
London, N.W.1.
August 24th 1937.
My own darling Daddy,
Thank you ever so much for your letters and all your news. I am sorry to hear about poor Mrs Ardall and I hope she gets all right soon. I wrote to the Civil Service Commissioners and asked them if I could name a referee in India as I had been there all my life and they said under the circumstances they would accept one from India, so I am giving them Mrs Berties Shincoves’ name. Poor old Aunty Phylis. I do hope she gets allright [sic] soon.
As for Nievses [sic] he will soon enough do what the Frog who tied to swell himself as big as a cow did. He must really have gone nuts. Our weather has improved again and is not so bad. We played tennis the other day and Steve beat me 6-4, 8-6, though I was leading 6-5. The two sets took an hour and ten minutes so you imagine how we were playing. We stopped as our time was up. Uncle Bob and Aunty Maisie have asked us down for Sunday, specially [sic] to play tennis with Uncle Bob, so watch out! The actress has bought a car, but I wouldn’t be seen in it. Our Rolls Royce easily thrashes it so you can imagine what it is like. It is so small you can almost cart it around all over the show.
[page break]
The other day Steve and I went to the Tate Gallery. It is a beautiful place. We listened to the lecture given and though we did not pick up much, we were a little wiser than before we went. Some of the paintings were really fine.
On Sunday we went to the Science Museum. It is an enormous place with every conceivable thing in it. It is a pity you did not go to it, never mind. D.V. you will when you next come. Every kind of animal, bird, mineral, fish etc [deleted] we [/deleted] is there and it is all beautifully done up. I am getting on well at Gloucester Road and working hard. I think Mr Moore is an awful decent chap. We are now regular Londoners and can find our way about quite easily. We are no longer bashful to ask for what we want. The flat is getting on fine and the wireless doing well. We will probably listen to a relay of the Franz-Louis flight. I suppose you will listen in too, I hope Tommy Franz wins.
On second thought I am not going to take lessons in flying as I believe the Air force prefer to teach cadets themselves. I will just go up to see what it is like. Because it is a nuissance [sic] being asked how do you know [deleted] if [/deleted] you will like it. Well no more today Dad, the days are flying, God bless and keep you and bring you back safely to us. With lots of love and kisses from your loving
[underlined] son Dave [/underlined]

My own darling Daddy.
Thank you ever so much for your letter and all your news. It was decent of Frank to have acknowledged the cigarette case. He is an awfully nice chap. The actress is already captivated with Steve’s good looks. The reason for that is because she hasn’t seen me yet. I had a letter from Cynthia a couple of days ago. She does not like Mussorie [sic] half as much as Naini. I [deleted] got [/deleted] am getting on well with my studies though I got a swear from Mr Moore to-day, for getting a laughing fit. I am glad to hear Nierals is better and I hope he steadies down and makes good. Sylvia and her brother Henry gave us a look up the other day. Henry is not at all happy. It was a mistake to have removed him before he finished his senior Cambridge. He plays tennis at Wimbledon so he is a member of the Wimbledon Club and has us to play there in the near future. So I think Budge and the rest of them had better look out. We are all going to the sea side on Sunday and hope to have a jolly time. This week has
[page break]
been a record [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] one. The highest temperature for London was 87° and for Jersey 89°. It was almost uncomfortably wew. [short version of ‘whew’] In fact an Indian I met going to India house said that the heat here was a worse type than the heat in India. Steve is going to be coached in tennis and may enter the Junior Wimbledon Championship in the singles and in the doubles with Henry. [deleted] the [/deleted] He will over age next year. I might enter the [indecipherable word] Championship next year!!! Do you think I can beat budge? Miss Fahay came and had tea with us the other day and in spite of all Mum’s vouching I once more called her [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] Mrs Fahay. She is getting quite used to it now. We found out the fees for the Paddington Club. You pay 5 ½ Gns [guineas] a year, which works out to 2 sh [shillings] a week. Before you are accepted you are given a trial and if you are not up to the standard you cannot join. All the courts are made of that red gravel stuff, but they are very well kept. Give Mr Joseph my love and tell him he is wanted on the Phone. Well no more to-day, God bless and keep you and bring you back safely to us, With lots of love and kisses from your loving
