Dear Jean:
Wish you were here in London to spend my leave with me. Lots of wonderful shows to see and dancing to really good dance bands. Also, some first rate bars, but then you are too young to drink rye highs!
We have a Canadian Officers Club here in London. It is run by Canadian women here in England, and all the officers from the Navy, Army and Air Force who come from Canada get together.
Tea is served by girls who are usually graduates of McGill University of Montreal, etc. - Grand bunch.
I am very pleased about your success at school and new president of your sorority. You must be very popular. If it is possible you must go to university and get a real education. We all pin high hopes on you and I hope you do well. Tell me how you are spending your holidays.
Your loving brother
Bill
