rejoicing.

Norman is still out in the Philippines
but does not appear to be over
satisfied with his lot --- the heat is
intense out there and besides he has
been in the hospital for the last
few weeks taking preventative
treatment for dysentery. I wish him
luck.

Now, as for yourself Mogo, if you
ever get time to write I hope that
you will tell me what you can
of how you are getting on and
whether you are in England, France
or Italy. Also I hope that you
will call on our reatives & give
them our best. By the way, don't
fail to give my best regards to
King George who is carrying
out his job like a man should.

If you see any of my friends
over there give them all my best.
And, as for yourself, old dear ---
watch your step and and there will be
a hot time in the old town. As ever
Your loving brother, Dick.
