My darling Lola

Just a line to let you know that I have arrived here safely after a splendid trip. Mrs. Evans travelled down to Dover with me she was looking very nice; the country was lovely with all the fruit trees in flower; I went to the Burlington & found a note from Capt Rawson; so I went and saw him at the tennis courts; he wanted me to spend the night at his new house, but I had not time to go. he had just had a weeks leave + had gone to Hereford, he & his wife had caught 7 salmon averaging 24 pounds each in the Wye. He sent their best wishes to you and hope that you will come and stay with them.

I dined with Commander + Mrs Evans. they were very kind Evans had a week stand off he is stationed here in Dunkirk
