Sweetheart I got two more letters from you last night one dated August 21st and the other August 28th.  so you got my first card on August 11th.  It did not take long to reach you.  Glad to hear that you are all O.K. you especially.  I have not got a photo of you, but I would like one very much.  I asked for one before.  Glad to hear that you are keeping in touch with Nobby’s mother and Lloyd’s family.  I know Lloyd and Freddie are OK but Lloyd has had no mail yet from home.  Keep in touch with Betty.  So Dorothy is coming to see you.  You will like her.  I think she is a very nice girl.  Give Auntie Nellie and Uncle Will my regards, and thank them for the picture.  I know the one that you mean, I always had a liking for it.  I am glad you moved it is much nicer at Breightmet.  There is nothing that I really need, cigarettes are the biggest problem at present.  Well Darling, I am still fit and well, and I am glad to hear that you are keeping alright look after yourself.  This is all for now.  All my love Sweetheart.  I love you.  Your always  Ernest
