​Dear Ma,

Thank you for the loaf of bread it served me well during my trip to the countryside To a small village named Chipping. Right now im staying with a woman named Mrs. Hudson, She’s got a bit of a temper but she has her own animals and she let me name one of her pigs Reuben. Im having the the best time out here. But shuffling to a less exciting part of my holiday the nearest school -which is just sround the block- is only a 1 minute 50 walk I hope to see you and Pa soon after the war and after he’s finished his service
