Letter: from Richard Dillingham at No 21 Kite & Balloon Section RFC Camp, [France] to Christine Dillingham at Kings Road, Flitwick - writer is having a little busier time again and thinks "there will be something doing very shortly now"; - notes they have started night work with the balloon again and as such get some very late hours; - hopes the children get their postcards in time for Ben's birthday and asks whether she had a party for him; - thinks her father almost worships Ben by the fuss he makes of him; - comments "You know what William Brittain says, you never know"; - doesn't expects Harold Gailer feels very gay over going out to Egypt but doesn't think he has much cause to grumble as he has had a good long time in England; - asks if Frank Gailer is still in England?; - notes he read in the Bedfordshire Times that G Woodcraft had been married; - comments he would have liked to have seen Major busy doing his place out and what a mess he would make of it; - asks her to tell Ben what a good boy he is to send him such a nice drawing;
