8 February 1945

Dear Dad:

Thanks for Christmas parcel and news of home. Have you seen Jean recently?

I hope its not wishful thinking when I say I hope to be home before 1947! This seeing the world is a much overrated pastime if carried on to excess!

Very nice of Gina Murphy to write 1608. She hasn't had much fun from the Flying Bombs recently.

Give my love to the family.

Bill
P.S. Met Charlie Hural for 10 secs the other day - not much use!
