Dear Dad,

Made the grade yesterday & crossed the channel and am now in Middlesex Hospital, Clacton on Sea, Essex, but only for a short time. So you had better address mail to c/o Mills.

My knees are my luck this trip and as they don’t pain me when I don’t walk I’m abso-bloomin’-lutely jake.

Happy new year
Your loving son

Mac

P.S.
As I have no stamps I’m sending this to Ewan to post and that reminds me. Will you please post to Miss W. Mills of above address about fifty dollars as I will be after a sick leave presently and at present I’m stoney to the wide – and in debt to the government, a good way to be.

Love to all

Mac
