Hello ‘Science V Buck’,

So its Stinky you’re calling me. Hope you don’t think you’re kidding. Haven’t had a bath since I’ve been in France except a swim down at the beach one day. And the water in the channel isn’t so full of B.T.U.’s either. How many B.T.U’s in a c.c. Buck?

Went back to England the other day and spent the night. Had to fly over another airplane for us. Was glad to get away. Theres to many flying bombs around. Altho’ you don’t see many, the sirens are always going.

How’d the holiday down at Pender go. Did you do any fishing or rowing? Hope Marg made you walk around the island.

Whats this about you looking like Marg in the school picnic pictures. Bet that made Marg awful cheesed.

Glad your face is getting fixed up slowly. Why don’t you get the whole thing lifted while your at it.

Don’t worry about the Science V.  Theres always [supps?] in September.

T.T.F.N.
Sandy.
