22nd Feb. ‘43
Dear Mum,
I intended writing to you yesterday afternoon but “B” flight had a days leave so that they could go back to Sabratha to see the Roman Ruins there & so we had a kite each to look after all day. Letter writing had to be put off until to-day.
I will send you & Dad a cable for your silver wedding anniversary, tomorrow ‘cause cables seem to be taking a long time to get home these days.
I received a cable from you this morning to say that a parcel of tapestry had arrived but I cannot get the idea of the last part of the telegram ‘cause it says ‘Rumor not true”
What the rumor is I can’t fathom out at all but I will no doubt hear what it is when you write. Also received two newspapers from you in this morning’s mail. They were the Smiths, dated 21st of Nov. & a Daily Mirror of about the same date. There are a couple of parcels still to come but they should be here shortly because there seems to be very little mail lost these days.
We are expecting two or three trucks to arrive here
from Alex. In a day or two. They are going to be loaded with canteen supplies.
I hope they receive them shortly because our canteen has been exceedingly dry for
several weeks & a few good things to eat would be very nice at present.
I forgot to tell you before that when we were at one of our ‘dromes we found an Italian kite which is very much the same as our Tiger Moth & it was in perfectly good condition & so we salvaged it. I have been working on it for the last four days & it should be flying tomorrow. Once the pilots canfly it alright we are going to get a flight in it & possibly a bit of dual flying. I’m hoping so at any rate.
That’s all for now Mum but I will write again soon
Much love to Dad & Betty
Lovingly Yours,
Frank
