H.M.S. MALAYA.
c/o G.P.O.
14th Sept.
Dear Mother- V. many thanks for your letter and the Surrey Advt. I’m so glad the wedding went off allright – I have heard from Jim & Sheina – and they seem to be quite enjoying themselves down at Bexhill playing golf.
It’s suddenly turned most beastly cold up here, and we have started fires in the Ward Room already- “out with yer woollies”-
Nothing at all exciting has been happening up here – we hope for a change soon though. I wonder if Dick would come up & stay onboard for a bit – when he comes home – soldiers very often do – I must write and ask him; he might enjoy it rather.
Another fellow has got shingles now – a Lieut – but he’s been in bed with it for the last 4 days – so I was apparently rather lucky and only had it very slightly.
Our guest night tonight, I hope Mr Drew is coming to dine with me – as we have a “Movie” show as well.
My best love to you all
Your ever loving son
Paul
