Jocelyn writes contentedely [contentedly] as usual. He likes

Dicks Classmate Lieut Ivan Graham
died from Spanish Influenza yesterday
in Quebec. The paper announces it. The one you
called upon at Dicks request Admiral Fullam
aid? You will remember.

I must write to Les tonight dearest so must
say goodnight now. Father has been over at
Durneys looking over their very fine [underlined] map of
France and company writes about you & Raymond
they are always cravying [craving] to hear news of you and
so are all the neighbors.

Evelyn Hall is going to write to you he says and

Lovingly as always
Mother.
