Hi My Two Sweethearts:–

Im trying to get a few notes away today so if this one is just a card to you this time please forgive me. I have written 2 blues to you the past week and will write another in a couple days. I am just set now to get a blue away to Marg and Ed. They don't seem to have received all my letters, especially a couple from Scotland acknowledging the parcel with bars, peanuts etc.

All My Love for Always.
