This is the last letter of 11 October 1939 and was included in the parcel of "civvy" articles that Frank sent home in preparation for service overseas. He also confirms that they will not be leaving on 12 October 1939 as he thought earlier in the day; only the advanced party was to leave on 12 October. This is confirmed in the Unit Diary.
Not sure who "Gorgeous" is!

Dear Dad,

'Gorgeous' is posting this for me as I am not sure what arrangements have been made for sending 'civvy' articles home.

I may find a few things later to post.

Wrote 2 letters to you today. Expect they will arrive before this parcel.

Since lunch I hear we may not leave here tomorrow. Only the advance party are going. I hear it is to an already prepared base. Sounds like a French port.

All the Best

Frank

p.s. 'Gorgeous' is calling at Bramley today for post so may get your registered letter on his return.

Will 'phone you if I get a chance, Easton 4204!!!
