Dear Mom & Pop:

This will have to be a short note as I'm going to a show here in camp in a few minutes but I thought I'd better let you know that I received your check and thanks again. I won't be able to write you Saturday but I'll write this Friday and Sunday. Saturday I'm going into Montreal and see the sites and do some shopping also.

I'm really eating up the ice cream and Pop before I go away I'll have spots all over my face just like the old days. They gave us a lecture to-day on how to get along with limies- imagine me getting along with limies, but I was seriously thinking of trying it this time just for the change.

Since I've been here I've met quite a few of the old aircrew of 404 Squadron and will be going back over with a few- they are very anxious to get back and didn't care for instructing in Canada.

I'm also going with a few of the fellows I came back with- the people I know in the airforce, I'm always running into someone I know.

I hope your on the bit again Pop and don't worry about me this time folks I'll be in good hands.

Love
Jack
