[???] written this am and sent letter (3 papers) off airmail. It has been quite interesting having Rena over but she didn’t appreciate things nearly as much as I did so it will be rather a different opinion you would get from her. I hope auntie has a nice time at Carluke there was another letter from her this morning. Yes I got the other one okay I thought I had mentioned it already, thanks for all of them, I’m looking forward to Dorothy’s next. I bought two [???] works for 6dm each today and a book about Comrade Viedt illustrated on every page for 2dm also a picture book about Hitler in the mountains and a book of Durer’s work the most marvellous value you ever saw With Love Helen.

Dear Mr Fergus,
I’m sure you’ll be amused to know that this is how the people dress in Bavaria, not onlin in the country but in town as well. This picture shows you too what fun the folk dances are, and the music is usually provided by some one playing an accordion. It’s all very jolly and gay.
With best wishes,
From Helen Shields.

This is one of the South Bavarian dances and these are the clothes I’ve been trying to describe to you. These frills are dirnl in their [???] clothes into [???] - with scarf hankies [???] and are flowers  on the front of the frocks - but the men are exactly as you see them here, when they’re not wearing [???] There must be something on with the soldiers tonight because the 5th [???] I’ve heard are farming[?] just now singing Hitler songs. They are queer at night to hear and there are a lot of sudden [???] in the music that every man is absolutely exacty with and they an unexpected effect. Did you like the Olympics magazine,
Love from Helen.
