Dear Emmie

I am just writing you a card as I havn’t had a letter from you today. I think it must be due to the raids that the post is delayed. All letters are coming in late. Today we had an air raid warning an we could hear the gun going off. We have had to turn our lights out every night for about a week. We are playing the band for a 3 ½ hours route march tomorrow so think of me between 9AM and 12.30. I see by the papers that you have been having a lively time but hope & trust that you will be kept safe from any harm. I went to the pictures last night and saw Charlie. C. It reminded me very much of Pykes Circuit, Seven Sisters Rd where we sometimes went.

I now conclude

Much Love Will x
