Meine Lieben!

Hoffentlich seid ihr alle gesund, was ich auch von mir gottlob berichten kann. Wie ist es dass ich gar nichts von Euch höre? Diese Woche hatte Post von den lb. Grosseltern und machen sie sich Gedanken, dass sie gar nichts von mir hören. Ich schreiben jede Wochen for 1/7 sh. and they still don’t hear from me. Lb. Lilo could you please write to them and let them know that I am O.K. We have glorious weather and I am on my way to the swimming pool. It is a good hour ride by bus and it is the best time to write my letters. This week I had a letter from Donald, Vivien and the two Leslies. Was it not marvellous all in one week. Donald is now[?] in the R.A.F. He likes it a lot and will soon send me his „silver wings“. Grand, he is looping[?] to me on his next leave. Vivien is in the army but had a heartattack and is now in military hospital. Leslie Gl. is an officer. I had a photo of him in uniform. He does look smart. He smooks[?] a lot, but can you blame him? He is better looking than he used to be. Lazzy is still a student. He is nearly finished with his 4th year and

[Page 2]
he is now preparing for his examination. And you know what that mines[?] don’t you? Last week I bought myself a swimming suit. Lovely. Black and white with a little bit of orange. More white than any other color. It kostet me 33/6 sh. It is a lot but you can’t get nothing cheaper those days. What weather do you get? I do hope that you will write to me soon. Lb. Lilo have you been to see Lilos brother yet. Please go and tell him that we are well. I shall have to close as I am nearly at the pool. Lilo will play war with me as I am half an hour late. Keep well and all the best wishes your yours Ruth

My dear ones!

Hopefully you are all healthy, which I can also thankfully report from me. How is it that I don’t hear from you at all? This week I had mail from dear grandparents and they are worried that they don’t hear from me at all. I write every week for 1/7 sh. (shilling) and they still don’t hear from me. Dear Lilo could you please write to them and let them know that I am O.K. We have glorious weather and I am on my way to the swimming pool. It is a good hour ride by bus and it is the best time to write my letters. This week I had a letter from Donald, Vivien and the two Leslies. Was it not marvellous all in one week. Donald is now[?] in the R.A.F. He likes it a lot and will soon send me his „silver wings“. Grand, he is looping[?] to me on his next leave. Vivien is in the army but had a heartattack and is now in military hospital. Leslie Gl. is an officer. I had a photo of him in uniform. He does look smart. He smooks[?] a lot, but can you blame him? He is better looking than he used to be. Lazzy is still a student. He is nearly finished with his 4th year and

he is now preparing for his examination. And you know what that mines[?] don’t you? Last week I bought myself a swimming suit. Lovely. Black and white with a little bit of orange. More white than any other color. It costs me 33/6 sh. (shilling) It is a lot but you can’t get nothing cheaper those days. What weather do you get? I do hope that you will write to me soon. Dear Lilo have you been to see Lilos brother yet. Please go and tell him that we are well. I shall have to close as I am nearly at the pool. Lilo will play war with me as I am half an hour late. Keep well and all the best wishes your yours Ruth
