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.
