has given him good service. I had a note from Dad enclosed in one of Mum’s letters, he said he was going to a send-off, he still likes to kick up the old heels. How is Hugh doing, I had an airgraph from him recently and have written to him. I have been getting a bit of mail from Cecily Wills lately and am going to write to her when I finish this. She gives me all the news from Beggs and writes a good letter. I am sending you two post cards of Naples with this letter and will have to cut a bit off the top of them, as I haven’t a deep enough envelope. I sent four with Mum’s letter. Recently, I had a look through the ruins of Pompeii, had a guide and spent an hour an half looking round. It is hard to realise that the city was built two thousand years ago and has been buried for many years.
