Last letter home from Harold Charles Davis: 'Bicton' St. Andrews Road, Southsea. My Dear old Reg, I thought I would just drop you a line to say that I am still keeping merry and bright or else I should think that you would think I have forgotten you, needless to say I haven't forgotten you, far from it, I often wonder how you are progressing in the art of "hanging on", I may say, I think as soon as you are more or less proficient you won't be so keen on the motor bike but will take every opportunity to get a horse and as you ride along the sandy tracks you will go into wild raptures exclaiming Waaga!-Wagga! By the way have you heard the yarn about Waaga! Waaga!? ah! well I'll tell you when I see you the next time, which I hope won't be so very long. I suppose I can almost call myself, or shall I say class myself, as one of the intrepid birdmen as I have done about 26 hours, including two forced landings and a crash. I am pleased to say the crash wasn't serious, I had two priceless black eyes & a face about twice it's normal size, of course I had a bit of a shake up but am pleased to say I am in tip top health now, needless to say the machine was a "right off". Am expecting to go out again, now, any day so I have given the home address, then if you have a sec: to spare & you drop a line I shall get it much quicker. Well, Reg, old chap how are you getting on? Jogging along merrily I hope, you had a stroke of luck meeting Andrews, you ought to give Ladd a look up, an awfully nice fellow, I sent you his address once, but sorry I haven't got it to let you have it again. Are you still contemplating a transfer? I suppose you are as keen as ever, I should think you would have no difficulty now. Well I must close now & will in future more regularly, trusting you are keeping quite fit, with heaps of the the very best luck. Cheerio.
