B.E.F.

Dear Alan,

Not written you for quite a long time – very sorry.  Nothing much doing here so very little to write about.  Had some Company sports last week and my section won the silver challenge cup.  It becomes my property.  Of course I had to do something for them so I made the whole section tight on Saturday night on Champagne & Whisky.  Strictly against order – but it only once in a way.  Cost me about seven pounds but it was well worth it.  Been issued with a push bike by the government so will have to learn to ride it.  Got a route march before me tomorrow.  Still playing about doing nothing.  Rather bored but manage to keep going.  The Army not claimed you yet I suppose.

                        With love

                                    Dick.
