Dear Mother:
Got a letter from you today saying that Dad wasn't back yet from Vancouver but he will be by the time this letter gets there.
The last two weeks here have been wonderful - beautiful warm summer weather and we get in a lot of flying. Tomorrow I think I will go to Scotland in the morning for an hour or so - mebbe for lunch and come back early afternoon.
I am orderly officer today and have to supervise a draft who are leaving for Iraq, Aden and India tonight (wish I was going also).
Haven't been to London since I got back. Sent that $25 a couple of weeks ago - hope you get it soon.
Will go to dentist on Saturday. P/O Ryder is driving me in Sat. morning.
Playing baseball here now as well as rugger. Rugger season seems to last forever here. Starts late September and doesn't seem to stop till early September.
I hear that Clarks are sliding along in an airconditioned Nash. Some class.
Even the English are greatly surprised at the wonderful weather we are having. I heard the International Spelling Bee over the radio between England and the United States. Sorry to hear that America was soundly thrashed, or should I be?
I was glad to hear that Bobby was in for a few days. Tell Dad to write me a long letter about his holiday at the coast.
Give me love to Ronny and Jean.
Love Bill
