You Can’t Buy That For 2 Pound 10

Writer: Letters HomeLetters Home

T. Sea,

Hi Hon;

This is a swifty, (the letter not me) because am as usual a busy lad. School all day (typing), teaching my junior SM later, tea, volley ball, siesta, then more slavery till midnight and later. Doin enuf now to feel that we fit in the machinery. Seems to me that your at a distinct physc (tough word) disadvantage for a while.

Remember the elbow in the ear business? Cant be done but the end of my pen fits. That was a nice tidbit eh.

Must learn the local monetary system. Sit around and listen to, “Well it cost 1 and 6: or “You can’t buy that for” 2 pound 10”. A bit disouraging at times.

Have a few dislikes, but am fast learning to hate the cold water shower taker.

In the navy one does not exactly have a private room with a bath--therefore the lad standing beside you can be very invigorated by chillin aqua, but so annoying. (The water’s all warm now, tis an old beef.)

Did I ever mention my love for you--tis so. Even if at times I’m not so speedy upstairs, you know that your always in my heart. Gad, the war’s end seems a long distance off--we hope to be home then you know


All my Love

Kenny Lee
