Sweetheart,
Just a note in a hurry to say that I’m a full sailor now. My uniform is complete and I’m sending my civvies off today so watch out for them, will you? They may be delivered by rail. There is a note inside and one for the children giving the latest news. Just hang my clothes up and keep them brushed for me. Perhaps you can crease the flannels.
In haste, lots of love.
