SNITTERFIELD
Hello Mother,
| RCAF Harvard |
I only have a few minutes before parade but must let you know that the box of soap, salmon and cleanex came yesterday and the Smiles and Chuckles sent from the factory April 26 and your box of soda biscuits, jam, cigarettes etc sent April 25 came to-day. Thanks ever for everything. Not one single thing was out of order and the chocolate bars were lovely and fresh.
Ah yes, don’t send any more Lifeboy soap or any tooth-paste. I just cannot use Lifeboy remember? And I use Dr. Lyons Toothpowder and have enough to last for at least six months. Boy we’re going to have a real feast as soon as we can scrounge enough chinaware and silverware. We also must pinch some coal from somewhere for our cook stove.
There is a sports meet this afternoon on the station but Andy and I both have foot trouble and are excused so we might bike into Leamington. I want to find Grandma R something if possible. My soft corn is cutting up again so I don’t walk anymore than necessary.
Haven’t received any letters for a few days but still keep looking. I wish I were flying Harvards again but guess those days are gone forever. One throttle is plenty for me but I guess I’ll have to re-assimilate myself.
Must go now, thanks again for the parcels. Oceans of love,
Son
