Dickie bird - who is very sad & says
his vocabulary of swear words is
increasing with each day that
he spend in truly unheard of
Key West - where they still appear to
be - (Since before you went accross you
know dear)

I want to write to him tonight thou
to go will say goodbye this time.
will try to write more [?] - Keep
well dear one - we are crazy to
learn all about your doings since
the Armistice!

I don't know what we would have done
without Les & Joc - who waited on us
both while sick - We are nearly well now
will be in a few days - Lovingly Mother
