Dearest Pat.

Im feeling kind of down in the dumps because I havent received any mail from you for about three weeks.

Hows every thing back there with you, everything okay over here but I still looking forward to the day when Ill come back to Victoria and the next time I wont make the same mistake I did last time.

Id sure like to be back there with you to night (Ive said that so many time [Ill?] bet your tired of it) but I mean it.

Well Ive got to make this fast theyve got some work for me to do and the mail goes out purty soon so I hope youll excuse this hurried letter

All my love Darling
Lawrence

P.S. Dont worry about the English girls sweet.
