My dear Father Mother,
This thought has just struck me that it is your wedding day or I should say anniversary of that day on 11th Sept. I'm late again but under the circs I think you won't mind. A good nights sleep and I am feeling a different chap this morning.
I have only heard from Roy once since
[Page 2]
he arrived in England. I hope he got the letters I wrote to him. I hear Jack B. has been terribly shaken and gone away. I don't know that its absolutely true so I wouldn't mention it to his people, he may be back in a couple of days and goodness knows we don't want to worry them.
Well Dad and Mum I wish you the best

of good luck and many more anniversaries of that 11th September. I may not have time to write to the Broadbent girls it is their birthday the same day. Send them many happy returns for me please.
So long
With the best of love
From
