Dear Mother –
Are there any oldish shirts of mine in my sea-chest – or are there any of any description lying about at home that the boys will not need again – because I am getting up a concert etc onboard & we have no properties – I imagine there must be an old suit or two at home somewhere – dinner jacket – or dress coats – anything like that would be useful-
Will you send them fairly soon. Have we any other properties at home – wigs?
So sorry to trouble you – Here are some stamps for postage –
Still jolly cold up here – I’m just off to play hockey-
Very best love to you all
Your ever loving son
Paul
