No 2. Letter
5 – CIRU.
Nov. 13. 1943

Dear Mom :-

I received your No.2 letter and was glad to hear from you.  I also received your Xmas greeting and the two quid which I was very pleased to receive and I want to thank you a lot for it.  Viv’s letter came in the same mail but I can’t answer it till I get another form which will be in a few days so tell her to sit tight.

Mervyn was on duty last week and could not attend a dance George and I went to.  We had a swell time and the girls are very friendly.  I am going down to see him this afternoon.

I see by your letter I have countless parcels on the way well I hope they reach me.  By the way Donald Oliver is here and he sleeps in the same hut as I do.  He is married now as you may already know.

I am still going to the dentist here and all I need now is my plate.  I’ve had the impressions taken and all the fillings attended too so I now have perfect teeth.

I am glad to hear that [?] has received my air-graph and I hope that Aunt Gwen and Cis receive theirs.

I met a nice H.T.S. girl last night who comes from Ireland and her name is Barbara Minns.  I met here in a Pub here and then we went on a Sightseeing tour.  She is stationed only 3 miles from here and I see her every day now.  George Thomas has a broad named Marjorie and keep it quiet as he has a girl back home and I wouldn’t want to spoil it for him.

Well Mom, I guess this is all the news I have at present so I will close.

Lots of Love
Wally XXX

Tell Gran I hope she recovers from her accident and give shorty these
