Sweetheart.  Here I am again, to say hello to you, and I hope this letter finds you in the best of health, and I hope that your mother is the same.  I am keeping fit and well, as a matter of fact I think I am put in a bit of weight on.  My shoulders are a bit sore with sun bathing, and I am peeling a little.  Oh before I forget if you go to Prestwich, will you call at 10, Mountfield, to see a Mrs. Machin, and tell her, that her brother Edward Hill who I have met over here, is as fit as a fiddle.  He has told me that she does not believe him when he writes to her.  Well Darling how are things at home.  Is everyone keeping well.  Give my regards to all.  How are Bernard, Gladys, Harold and my Dad keeping, give them my regards and address.  Well Sweetheart, look after yourself won’t you, until I come home again, which I hope will not be long, so keep your chin up and do not worry about me.  We are being treated very well..  this is all for now Darling so cheerio my sweet and God bless you.  I love you.  Give my love to your mother.  Yours forever and ever.
