Sweetheart.  Here we are again with another letter.  I am still keeping in the best of health, and I hope that you are the same.  August bank Holiday was spent rather well here, we had a bit of a field day.  The entertainments committee arranged it and it was quite a good effort.  There was a baseball match in the morning, between two Canadian teams.  In the afternoon there was a cricket match, England versus Australia, which was finished today, England won by about forty runs.  There were also a few improvised side shows.  Oh! By the way I forgot to mention it before, I have started in the hairdressing trade, and am now one of the camp barbers.  That is enough about me Dear how are you keeping?  I hope that you are alright, and that you are looking after yourself.  How is your mother keeping, I hope she is alright too, how is my dad going on, and everyone else at Prestwich.  Give them my regards.  This is all for now.  Darling, except to say I love you.  Give my love to your mother, and please look after yourselves.  So cheerio my Darling and God bless you and keep you safe.  Yours forever.

            Ernest
