London S.E.16.

Dear Joan & Arthur,

Thank you very much for the present. We will have to get some decent chairs
now.

We are settling down slowly but surely in our new surroundings. it is nice
to listen to the wind howling outside and not feel a draught inside.

We hope you had a good Christmas & New Year.

Naturally our Christmas & New Year was very quiet especially the New Year
because it snowed so much that we could not go out. so Doll and I sat
looking at the square box wished each other and absent friends a happy New
Year and went to bed just after 1 o'clock.

If you would like to come down for a holiday any time we have got plenty of
room and you are always welcome. Doll and I would like to see you both
because we are proud of this little house (actually it is called a
maisonette, because it has bedrooms bathroom & mod con. upstairs.)

Young John is practising every Tuesday night for this years Scouts gang
show. If they are all like him it should be a riot.

Madge has been round two or three times, they are all keeping fairly well
of course John can't do anything without his belt on.

If you do decide to come I will give proper instructions as to where we
live we are not 2 minutes from St. Olaves hospital.

Hope you are both in the pink as we are here.

Your. S.I.L. & Your Bree
" " " B.I.L
Best Wishes from all the rest.
