My darling Mother,

Your lovely letter received and glad to hear from you. Enjoyed reading May's letter. Very nice indeed.

I am quite busy studying. Have had two exams already. Three more to come.

Every body send love. Many thanks for the money paid on my coat. Someday May and I will be able to repay you Mother dear.

Write soon

Lovingly your son
Roger

Love to all including Edna.
