Dear Mrs. Dixon:

It has been my intentions for many
weeks to write this letter, but many delays
have occured which have put off my letter
writing. I want to thank you and
the Oshawa Women's Air Force Aux. for
so kindly remembering me at Xmas.
Your parcel reached me just in time
from Christmas Day and was certainly
most acceptable.

Since that time a birthday card
has also arrived for which I send more
thanks. It is certainly grand of your
society to remember the lads who are
away from home. I assure you
that I appreciate your kindnesses and
do hope that I am forgiven for my lateness.
