Sunday, 8th March 1942 (postcard)

My Dear Mother & Father,

I have received 21 letters this week.  What do you think of that?  All dated Jan except one from Dorothy dated 8th Feb which arrived 2nd March.  2 Dec letters from Bill.  The November parcel has not yet arrived.  I will get a letter next week and answer in detail then.

I am very well and hope you all are the same.

Yours loving son,

Arthur
