Dear Wendy & Michael,
How are you both? I do hope that you are behaving yourselves while I am away. Remember, Mummy has enough to worry about now, so I want you both to be very good for her.
Daddy is a real sailor now, with two funny little hats – one blue one and one white one. And I have also got a bed to hang up between two big posts when I want to go to sleep, although just now we are sleeping on beds in tiny houses smaller than our garage. Today I have been vaccinated just as you were when you went to the clinic. Do you remember? Because I have been vaccinated I have not got very much work to do today, but next week we shall all be busy running round the big buildings here, going to the gymnasium to play games and learning how to fire a rifle. So you see Daddy has more work to do here than at home. It is harder work than digging the garden! There has been lots more snow here than we had at home, but most of it has gone now. We have also seen a lot of big aeroplanes, flying very low – just above the housetops.
Well this is all for now, but remember, I want you both to be very good. Promise? I will write you another letter soon, but until then Mummy will tell you the news.
Lots of love from
Daddy XX
