Darling.  Just a few lines to say that I am still keeping fit and well, and I hope you are the same, and that you are looking after yourself.  I also hope that your mother and everyone else is well too.  We have had two quite good concerts here and three film shows, the films were “The Corsican Brothers” an “Andy Hardy film, and one called  “Dixie Dugan” and we really enjoyed them.  What sort of a Christmas did you have?  We did not do badly considering the circumstances, we made ourselves a boiled pudding and a couple of cakes, the cakes we covered with chocolate icing, they were jolly good too.  We are doing the same for the new year.  Well Sweetheart I hope that you have had more mail from me by this time.  I got a letter from you last week dated Sept 11^th.  The mail from you is coming through very well.  This is all for now Darling so I will close.  I love you Sweetheart.  All my love and kisses. 

Yours forever and ever

            Ernest
