My dear Father,
I had a lovely swim yesterday. Last Thursday we had life saving drill in the water, Charlie jumped into 12 ft of water, and he can not swim, he went down & then came up & a boy went to help him but Charlie was so frightened that he accidently kicked him in the face, & he had to leave him, then another boy came and he had to leave it then Charlie went down again & a big boy dived in & got him out. He was so bad that two boys had to squash the wind out of him.
