March 6, 1944 - Back from Leave in London

 


March 6, 1944 (Vmail date March 7)

Dear Mom + Dad,

I have just arrived back from London and I had a wonderful time. I wrote you before I left and there has been a three day lapse in between so I'll give you a few quick lines to let you know I'm O.K. I picked a good weekend to go away not only from the weather standpoint but our boys were out several times after Berlin. As a result I missed a few rough raids so I can't complain at all. I managed to do quite a bit of sightseeing as I had plenty of time. Westminster Abbey, House of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, etc. It was a worthwhile experience. Went out with Joe's sister-in-law a few times. She is quite a character and a newspaper reporter with a refreshing outlook on life. Went to a few nightclubs did the usual aimless running around and all in all enjoyed myself. Even went to church at Saint Martins in the Field Sunday morning. Just a lot of fun with a lot of worthwhile things tossed in. I'll give you more details in a day or so in an airmail letter. I'll see you soon.

 

All my love

Bobby
