Letter from Roy Bruce to Maud Bruce

Thank you
very much for your two
letters dated 14 th and 28 th
October . I was very glad
to get them, and they
reached me just at New
Year time.

I am very glad
to hear that you like school,

and also that you are
getting on well with your
French. I hope you will
continue to make good
progress as you will find
that language very useful
to you some day.

Robin is with me here
at Headquarters, and has
a lovely coat and is very
fat. He does not get so
much to do now as he did

when he was with the
Squadron. I have
another horse called "Wully"
a chestnut. I am going to
take him out tomorrow, and
I will tell you what he is
like.

Tell me where you
write, what kind of games
you play at school, and
about your lessons? Do you
take Latin? or is that a
pleasure to come?

Did you go to Rollesby
for Christmas? and did you

have a very happy time -
I hope you did.

Here, it was so wet, it
was difficult to light a fire,
so we postponed our Christmas
dinner till New Year's eve.

Good bye little girl, take
care of yourself and Mummy ,
be cheerful and happy, and
always be ready to laugh
at your little troubles.

With fondest love & kisses
Daddy.

XX. Here are two big fat ones.
R.
