Dear Jess, Thanks very much for your parcel from Liverpool. Thank John for the fags for me as I have not had much time for writing at present. I hope you had a decent holiday, I am sure you would need it after having Mother ill for so long.
I am hoping to get leave soon. I have made the necessary application so am anxiously waiting to see if anything turns up. Had I to explain that Mother was so ill I think I could easily get it, but I don't intend to mention that except as a last resource, because it is such a misused statement. I am pleased to hear Mother is improving. A holiday would do her good only I'm afraid she wouldn't go away these times.
There is no need for her to worry about me as I am quite all right. I've done well for parcels lately having three in fur days. The melon will be a nice change it will keep for a few days yet. You need not send any more fags for a sometime. I shall let you know when I am short but you can send a couple of ozs of Three Nuns tobacco. I have just about finished my stock. I do not want to have too much at a time because it only means more to carry when we get a move.
I think we will be here for a couple of months yet. Remember me to Mr & Mrs K. and all of them. I can't possibly write to all my friends.
Well I must close now. I have cold feet and feel very seedy today but will be quite all right tomorrow. I hope the weather keeps fine for you and that you have a good time.
Love from your affectionate brother John.
