Dear Mother & Dad
Just received your letter, the first for three weeks so here goes to answer it at once. So, Hessie is married, well I am pleased to hear it. She is getting on in age now and had she not taken that chance probably she never would have been married, it’s a certainty she would have been out of luck had she waited for yours truly.
The girl from Buxton has been going around singing for the wounded lately. Gee, she had a beautiful voice, and a darn nice girl but Mother I am not own of those marrying kind and sometimes I think I am not doing what is right by accepting their hospitality. I know darn well they are under the impression that I intend on doing something. However, we shall see later.
Tell VV if she wants to drop a line to a nice girl in England, she can enclose a line or two in a letter to me and I shall forward it on to her. I am so sorry to hear that Dad is ill. Never mind I think he will feel better after all the hard work is done and he can rest for a while.
How does the kid like her new school? When she encloses a letter to my friend tell her to start it as “Dear Mabel”.
We had a wonderful game of Ball yesterday. By Jove, it was a good game. Of course, we won. Say Mother for Goodness sake let the Richmond crowd fight their own battles. Aunt Rach would be the first to criticize you if you were to side in with either of them. Poor old Bud. God help me if I ever get married and they start henpecking me. I’ll beat it.
Well, Mother, there is nothing I can tell you of any occasion. Only tell VV if she does enclose a letter to Mabel, she is never to mention it to a soul because I don’t want that Portage outfit to know a darn thing about me. Remember me to Dad and VV I’ll close with love
Chas
