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.

Take care of yourself Edward & write when you can to your loving brother Dick
