28.7.44.<\/p>\n

Friday evening.<\/p>\n

Jess dear,<\/p>\n

We are still officially enjoying a fairly quiet time… and as usual I am quite well… and have no complaints to make… Or perhaps I should say that I could fill a volume with complaints of one sort or another, but this would do no good so I will save my energy.<\/p>\n

The day has been fairly fine here… with little to worry us and not much sign of war… apart from the frequent bursts of firing from our artillery and a certian amount of aerial activity. To detract us still further from our warlike environment, we have actually had a visit today from a Naafi mobile canteen… and this evening there is a cinema show in a local barn. I believe the picture is ” A Yank at Oxford”.<\/p>\n

But what interests me is a delightful piano concerto which I am listening to at present… via the radio on my vehicle. I have suspended the headphones down the side… and am enjoying an open air concert. It is a B.B.C. programme… and the time is 7.45 pm. Can you trace this concerto for me? I do not know it, but am much impressed by it. It may be one of Mozart’s.<\/p>\n

More tomorrow…<\/p>\n

Au revoir, my dear<\/p>\n

Yours always,<\/p>\n

Trevy.<\/p>\n
