Sweetheart.  Thank you very much for your letter dated Sept 4.  It is the first one that I have received from you up to now, and I am glad to hear that you are alright, it is a load off my mind to know that.  I see that you have moved, how long have you been living at Bury Rd.  it should be alright up there.  I would liked to have seen you whitening the ceiling, I bet you looked a treat.  So you have not heard from me since August, I have been writing every week.  I am glad to hear that your mother is keeping well.  Give her my love also my regards to Uncle Arthur and Ethel.  I am very sorry to say that Betty will not hear from Ron, she will probably have had news by now.  If she has not do what you think best, about it.  So Ben still keeps fit and likes a fight, does he?  I hope he keeps that way.  This is all for now Darling.  I am keeping fit as ever, and I feel much better now I have heard from you.  Cheerio and God bless you dear I love you.  Yours always.

            Ernest
