Dear Mother

I received the parcel with the shirts and underwear in to-day and will send you the list back with this letter I received the other three parcels about a week ago and send the lists from them in my last letter. I also got a letter and 300 cigarettes from uncle Billy to-day it sure is darn good of him.

I have that picture of the King and Queen I was telling you about and will send it air mail payday that is Saturday. I dident had a chance to take any pictures with Camera you sent me till yestrday and I have taken a roll and a half and will take some more this week and send them air mail payday. Tthe shirts and underwear are just right although the shorts could have been a size larger but they are just fine. I got a letter from Bill yesterday with a couple of pictures of Carol Anne she certainly is a cute little thing I have not sent the Souvenegirs I bought for Helen, Muriel and you in Inverness yet but will send them on pay-day. Well Mum this is just a note. We have just come in off three days manouvers and I am pretty tired so I am going right to bed so thank very much for everything mother dear and will write again Monday or Tuesday lots of love to all,

Much love
Mac
