Dear Mother

I have been meaning to send you the enclosed for ages – but I keep on forgetting – Will you put them in that sort of book with my other certificates that you have- Don’t lose them.

I have just written to Ruth – d’you know of anything useful that I can give her?

It’s still raining & thundering – sickening isn’t it.-

Ever so much love to you all

ever your loving son

Paul
