  anything to eat. The Indian Government only

  for shaving weather he shaves himself or

  very generous.

   

  just received a copy of The Rangoon Times

  which publishes a small bit about the Reception

  Rangoon some years – beyond all comparison

  the Reception of the Territorials was the worst

  for sheer stupidity & want of organization it

  collard the Bun, took the Biscuit appropriated

  the Abernethy, I have been trying to

  find in mild terms those used by my pals are so
