My dear Ernie

At last I received the parcel with the Candies you bought for me, for which I thank you very much.

I liked your nice letter and was glad you and Alfie had such a good time with R[?] at Eatons.

How did you like the gun I sent you I hope you will have some fun with it.  I hope you will not have to go to school again until it is warmer.

Hoping soon to be back to see you again with best love to you

I remain
Your loving
Father
