Say you must be having a regular field day I have had five letters from you all written within a little over two weeks pretty good kid keep it up. Yes its spring time over here and you might call it summer it sure is nice and warm all the tree out and flowers blooming everywhere. Well we have air raids every night but they havent droped any bombs here for three or four month but I have been in London a few times and seen a lot
Glad to hear you are helping Dad you want to go down the office as much as you can and help him he really needs some one to help him. I received your pictures and I think they were swell I am send a couple as soon as I get the negative from this fellow and get some printed and when I get the camra mother is sending I will be able to send all kinds home. Glad to hear Pat arrived home safely I guess he is dam glad to be back the lucky stuff. Yes Liverpool has had a lot of bombing and I guess its in pretty bad shape. So little John dident remember his dad poor little kid he must be pretty by now. Well I sure hope Dads business is good this year I would like to see so much work that he can’t do it all he sure deservies it Glad to hear you got my litter of March 10 I have sent you quite of few since then hope you get them all. So you got fair bucks for helping Dad the sure was dam good of him but I know you earned it.
