Dear DeLores:

Greetings once again, and may I congratulate you on the new step in life. Mother wrote me that you and Joe were married when he came home on leave and that she was having a reception for you. All I can say is, the best of luck to both of you for anything you make undertake.

Things have really changed since I came back from leave. It’s something new and different to us all and there’s never a dull moment. I haven’t told mother because I think it’s best not to. She still thinks I’m at the same old place and that’s the way I want it to be.

By the way, where is Joe now?! Perhaps in time we’ll get to see each other. Sure hope so!! I suppose you heard that Ken and I were finally split up. He left around the 20th of Feb. and as yet I haven’t heard from him. He’s still at the same old place he was a year ago.

Well, guess I’ll have to close for now, but I’ll write again when I get the chance. Give my regards to Joe when you write him.

As ever your friend,

Will
