Dear Dorothy, I have just received two airgraphs from you dated 19th & 25th June and am very pleased to hear from you again. I also had one from Maisie and one from Kath and Alex, so am answering them before going to bed. It was great you and Mum being able to go and see Aunty May, I wrote to her just a few days ago. Charlie is lucky being home, I suppose he had some great tales to tell you. If you happen to see Gladys Wilson again, remember me to her. What a shame she lost her baby. I had a cable from Frances telling me about her new son and have sent her a cable and also written an airgraph. You must have had a good time at Tuatapere, I am keen to hear all about the pig-hunting. Tomorrow night I am going to make a start at writing you a letter, so will be able to give you a bit more news. I had another letter from Jock a few days ago, he is waiting to leave for home. Will say cheerio now old dear. Lots of love & xxx. Your loving brother. Eric. xxx
