  Dear Willie,

     It seems such a long time

  since I heard from you last that

  I feel certain you have shifted from

  Irvine ere this, so I'm addressing

  this to East Main St. in the hope

  that it will be readdressed to you.
  

     Well, the long hoped for has

  come at last - peace with all its

  comfort, happiness and prosperity. Let's hope

  it will continue for a long, long time.

     The news of the armistice with

  Germany came here on the 11th by wireless 

  and the detailed conditions yesterday

  by the same means. You can imagine

  with what satisfaction we heard the

  news from one of the operators, who

  lost no time in bringing it up

  from the station to the living Quarters

  immediately it came through. We

  are 4000 miles from the war zone

  but it's surprising what effect the

  news did have here.  The gramophone
