Dear Mother & Father, Well this is the third day of my leave.

Dear Mother and Father, Just received your letters of July 2nd, also a bundle of Examiners. I hope you are all well.

I hope it is so as it certainly is an interesting course in a wonderful part of the country. We have fairly easy hours, work hard when we are at it and when we get off, there are all kinds of games to play, places to go and plenty
