Dear Mother
Many thanks for D.Ms, most acceptable. I want one of those silver identity discs, round one, not oblong if poss.

You know the disc on a chain you wear round your wrist. I enclose a small cheque to carry on with.
I got Sheina’s letter, please thank her.
I got your letter dated 27 with those photographs of Jim & Sheina, awfully interesting. I hardly recognise Ruth. Many thanks for sox & breeches, they will roll up soon I expect. It’s not my B. warm at home I’ve got it here!
Fancy Jim coming out with the Portuguese army.
If you can get me a pair of gauntlet gloves (soft gauntlet part) size 8 I’d like them. Warm & waterproof.
Best love to all.
Yr loving son
Richard
I saw Morton’s photograph in one of the D.Ms.
