Dear Lin
Just a card to let you know that I am nearly to my destination. I am rather glad to be able to get off to stretch my legs. Perce and I are both together we have both got fair mows & are both well. We are both very thankful to say that we have not had any sickness since we have been on the boat considering that all the hospitals have been full up. This is a view in South Africa. Hope you will like it. I will now close & send some more cards when I get to England.
Hope you are all well
with best love
from your loving Bro. Les
