Hello der Buck,

Thanks for the mags and the cutting of Barry. I notice the woodpile wasnt getting much smaller.

Hope the chocolates you sent arrive O.K. Your perfume should be along pretty soon. It will probably smell like a two-bit dance hall on a Saturday night. Well remit one (1) repeat one pound next time I go back to England. Will have to go back soon to pick up that new aeroplane your victory bond bought. Anyway it might pay for a patch on the tires.

Mary Lewis seems to be getting along very well. Do you hear from here quite often?

Why go to the Klondyke when you can make your pile at Delman? Nice going. You must be packing quite a wad of bills around these days.

Our radio isn’t working so well these days. About all we can get is squarehead music – and they haven’t got a clue those krauts. Even CKNW should be able to do better than them.

When is the famous N.W. Philharmonic going on its world tour of command performances?

Thats all the guff for now

Cheerio
Sandy
