Letter number 5 sent from Beresford Block, Kempston Barracks, Bedford by Cyril Verdcourt to Mama [Helena Verdcourt].

Undated [1918]

From: 1918 To: 1918

Dear Mama, I have not heard anything yet, and hope to come home again before I go away, if of course nothing comes tomorrow. The food I brought with me has been exceedingly welcome to me, and young Mann greatly appreciated a sandwich last night. His people are coming to see him this weekend. He says he would be pleased to avail himself of your kindness if he ever gets leave. You will be good to Kathie when she comes to see you, won’t you, and try and make her feel that you like her. Please try and force Louis to take the money for my bicycle out of my ‘reserve funds’ as I consider myself more than sufficiently in his debt already. How did the Commer Cars get on last night. I cannot tell you much now, and I hope to get home tomorrow although you must not expect me too much. I am Your loving son Cyril PS I am numbering my letters so that you may know if you fail to receive any.
