Letter
No. 93
27th
May ’43
Dear Mum,
Just a short note because
there is very little to write about.
I went
into town yesterday to see if I could get anything to send home & I met
with a little luck I managed to get a couple of lengths of material for Betty. One
length is a white silk & should make up into a tennis frock or play suit. The
other length is a dark floral material. I thought it would suit you alright but
all he had left was enough to make a short sleeved dress for Betty so I got it
too. The shopkeeper said that he would be going down to Tripoli in a few days
to see if he could get some more so I will go up later on & see if he has
had any luck.
One of the boys who came over
here quite recently said that washing blue was hard to get at home so I will
put a couple of packets in the parcel. I also got a hundred razor blades for
Dad & a couple of hundred cigarettes.
We are now getting an issue of
two bottles of beer from the Naafi each week. It’s not much but it’s better
than we have had in the last six months.
Well, Mum, I warned you early
in the piece that this letter was going to be rather short & I’m afraid I
will have to close now & get back on the spine again.
Much love to Dad & Betty
& my regards to Leo
Lovingly
Yours
Frank
