Dear Mother:
I received your letter of March 6 today so you can see that I don't receive your letters with any great rapidity.
Spent a wonderful weekend in the Lake District. Motored around the whole district with Annand of 26 Squadron and Ryder of 41. Visited Windemere, Bowness etc. , felt quite at home.
We stayed overnight at the Royal Oak in Keswick. It is a wizard hotel - ye olde ancient style where we tossed the old mug back quite freely.
Enclosed you will find a proof of one of the pictures I had taken. You will receive same soon (not the print of one enclosed).
Bill Edwards wrote me a long letter which I also received today. Great deal of fog around here but managed to get an hour's flying in today.
Miserable pen so help me! Give my love to all the family.
Love Bill
P.S. Thompson and Robinson called in T's car and took me for a ride over moors a week last Saturday . (Good time).
