Sweetheart.  Here I am again with another letter, and I am glad to say that I am still keeping in the best of health, and I hope that you are the same, and that your mother and my dad and the rest of them are keeping alright too.  Give them all my regards.  I have not met Jim Booth yet, (you know I mean don’t you? His mother lives opposite my dad) but I have met a few chaps who were with him at another camp and he is going on alright.  We have formed a Lancashire club here, there are quite a number of Lancashire lads on the camp, and we have issued a challenge to the Yorkshiremen to play them at cricket.  So it will be the Battle of the Roses over again.  This is about all for all for now my Darling, so I will say cheerio and God bless you and keep you safe.  Give my love to your mother, and my regards to all.  All my love to you Sweetheart, Yours ever

            Ernest
