Dear Father and Mother:-
Received three letters from you when I arrived back off leave yesterday[190]. The last one was dated Jan 1st. I wrote you while at Halsalls and told you of the time I was having there and sent you a PC from London. I stayed six days in Liverpool and saw the Jones and Binchens. I went with Hilda[191] to Haylake one after noon and had a very nice time. We walked to West Kirby along the sea shore. When I left L-pool I went to Uncle Henry's for a couple of days and saw the Coulthends and a lot of other people Father would know. Also saw Ascnigg church[192]. I didn't go to see anyone else although I meant to but I just didn't seem to have time. I never saw 14 days go so quickly. It is not very cold here but it is damp most of the time. Had splendid weather in England while there. Will write again very soon.
Your Loving Son
Rich
