Dear Mum
The days are flying away. Since the eventful goings on last Friday! Well it was a grand day. I got to bed a short while before midnight.
I forgot to tell you that I met an ATS friend of Barbara's at the dump. I learned she lived at Birmingham. She asked me what part of Oakengates I came from. When I told her she asked me if I knew Barbara Powell of Walton Ave. She had been to tea at our house after some tennis affair or some racket. Anyhow she seemed a charming young lady. But at the same time another young ATS character wasn't nearly so nice. She tried to impress me of the amount of low life carried on in pubs. I replied that she evidently knew the ropes and she sadly answered that she did. Then the meaning dawned after which she was most uncomfortable.
It is very near parade time so I must close. Sadly there is not a prospect of further expeditions to the dump.
Well be sure and keep smiling. Cheerio
Very best of love
Charlie
