7th January 1973

P O Box 896

Singapore

Dear Mum and Dad

The mail has been delayed over two weeks so guess a gap at this time of year is to be expected.  Hope you had a good Christmas.  I did well with parties, from then to New Yea and continuing this week.  It will continue because we have a new No 1 arriving this month.  A big dance last night at the manager's house, I do not know how many.  Band til 2 am and wore a black tie for the first time since Johore.  I do not know if I have mentioned the No 1s house before - Mount Echo.  It can only be described as palatial, it is so big.  Set on a hill in several acres, it is about the biggest in Singapore.  However, its days are numbered and quite possibly that was the last big party to be held there.  Margo mentioned Ian Macleod is still negotiating his leaving the bank and seems quite determined.

The girls are enjoying their holidays and their letters are gay despite the odd problem which has cropped up.  Elisabeth's last letter was well written.

All for now, trust you are keeping fit.

All my love

Peter
