Dear Tommy

Heaps of thanks for yours of 11^th to hand a couple of days ago. So you have not yet been posted cadet school eh? Lucky devil! Nine months in Blighty at least  I suppose true that Larkhill is not exactly an ideal spot but of course you’ll be sent to Brighton or somewhere like that and don’t forget I shall anxiously await “all the news”

All the boys send their regards

Ever Sincerely Yours

Harold
