From Old Country
Tells of Sight -Seeing Trips --
Stationed On Old Scottish
Estate.
Somewhere in Scotland, Sot, 29, 1942
My dear Mother:
Just finished reading your letter of Sept.
19, which su 'wrote from Strafford, Hope
you had a nice holiday and that everybody is
In good health.
As you will notice by this letterhead, I am
somewhere in Scotland Well I atm up here
for it course, I am sitting. on my bunk on
the third floor of a. very old country estate.
It reminds me somewhat of. Casa Lome. It
has Ito long halls,extra wide stairways, and
'narrow stairways, 7 am at present in a room
on the corner with a parapet on two sides,
'Although the home seems old it has modern
fixtures which is a graud.help. It is hack
from the road about a mile and well hidden,
but there is lege well kent grounds around.
' the house, There is a. bus runs pito a town
three rights a weak, I have been invited to
spend a week end et.the home of an English
chap I have met on Ella squadron, He 10 a
Very fine follow, we have been out several
times together.
The Winchester:,, you sent arrived O.K. and
they sere woo welcome. And Ruth's box
came through 0.If, and was it a treat --a
piece of her wedding cake, can of fresh fruit,
nuts and date loaf m n can, canned chicken,
packages of raisins, chocolate bars and gum.
Hatt a letter from Floyd and he had just
finished a course. He had been to London on
a short leave. He said one would certainly
know there was a war or as he saw several
places that had hewn hit.
We had last weelcens off and a chap from
Woodstock and myself had ourselves invited
out, We. went skating. in the afternoon, then
for a' walk along the Thames, and I sure had
a good sleep after. Harold said I went out
likea light. I did not hear a thing until
someone woke me up with a cup of tea. It
seems to be a habit to serve ten before going
to bed, and again before you are up. We -got
up abort nine and went around to do some
sight-seeing, If you saw the show, "The Pri-
vate Life of Henry VIII.", YOU will know
where I. was, It sure is some place. A' guide
takes you .around and explains things. All
the rooms are plastered with paintings. In
one room are all of Henry's wives, --From
there.you go along another passage where
the. Happy Gang's Ann Bolyn wanders around
at the midnight hour, but she wasn't out the
night we were there. I' alsosaw the famous
marble Arch which the happy - gang get a
kink out of. -
While in the Beaver Club, I spent en hour
reading the Stratford papers and The Tor-
onto
ononto Star.
How la everybody bank in Toronto, I guess
you must be kind of low on tea end coffee.
Tea is rationed here, but not coffee and you
know,I always liked coffee the beat, but when
I have been invited out they always seem to
have tea, and Floyd said the same when he
went M London, they woke him up with a
cup of tea.
So good night for now, Mother, and take
real good care of yourself. -Give my regards
to all and everybody. Your loving son,
