May 5th
Dear All once again a few lines to say I am hale & hearty—Yesterday received my fourth clothing parcel including my uniform parcel I have received all so far sent off by you bar of course the April one which should reach me by about July or August. The shoes were very useful and the pillow cases I shall be able to make a nice pair of white shorts out of. Am doing quite a lot of Portrait drawing and under the Supervision of first class artists am coming along quite well. What was the operation Doreen had and I suppose now she is engaged she is right on top of the world. My hearty good wishes and Love Sis presume Cyril will write me—let me have a photograph—Joan still writes regularly and I write her two or three times a month and as this has been going on for over a year you can understand we are very pally however have to get home and get fixed up before hand—Have been building model gliders four of us are at the moment constructing one of 8 ft wing span—should have some fun
Love to you all
John
