about your request for money –
he says he will send it today
he did not say how much – It is
better to ask us for it than Lesley Bates –
because I think he needs all he has
for he has to "buy so much" [underlined] instead
of it being given out by Quartermaster
Dep. We can generall [generally] let you have it
more easily than Les – so let us know
"ask us" [underlined] when you need it – as
you did this time. Your father has
told you to ask when you need it.

Fond love from all – no other
news I think. Your loving Mother

Wiliford looks finely &
expects to go back very soon.
