  at Downing Point.

      I'm wondering where you are
  

  now, & how you took the news 
  

  of the armistice. Are you still in
  

  Britain or "over there"?  It gives me
  

  great satisfaction to think that
  

  there'll be no fighting to do
  

  now, & that if you are across
  

  there it will be more in the
  

  nature of one of our navy trips
  

  - "seeing the world in comfort".
  

       I suppose that, like myself
  

  you won't be expecting to be
  

  released from service for at
  

  least 6 months more?  Do you
  

  know I've already been debating

  with myself whether I shall
  

  take up teaching again!  After
  

  my short time in the 'King's

  Navee' I've come to the conclus-
  

  ion that I used to take life
  

  a bit too seriously (after 4 pm each
  

  day, not before!) & I intend taking
  

  it just a wee bit easier in future.
