  ...Left side of paper

  intelligence", + "a rush of trains to the

  Lead". Your description of Grandma

  C---l + Petrie's baby made me laugh,

  especially where you described the latter

  running along in a "certain unholy state".

  I thought it would be a bigger shock

  if the positions were reversed, + it was

  Grandma who was running ----!!!

  Oh lor! Didn't you "ricochet" when

  you struck Mr Boddy? After your

  evening at Winnie Carr's, I'm going

  to call you "Chippy", just to pay

  you out a bit for M.G's etc. Of course

  poor father gets all the blame (as usual)

  - but he doesn't mind a bit - see? The

  "Balmoral" I should describe as

  "moderate" for a young lady to stay at.

  You know it - it is in Westborough, straight

  opposite the end of Huntriss Row. It

  is more a business men's or

  commercial Hotel, than a visitors'

  place. Harold + I had dinner there

  once - in fact I'm not sure we didn't

  all go there on some occasion or other.

  Many thanks for the cigarettes via the

  
  

  ...Right side of paper

  Daily Dispatch I think, which arrived

  a matin. I am enclosing the address

  of the sender (as put on the package

  by them. They do make a wise up

  of things don't they? No wonder parcels

  often go wrong! Another cutting is a

  photo from the Daily Sketch (an old one)

  of Young Busby, who is evidently

  missing. It was another coincidence

  Another fellow passed the fragment of

  paper to me, + asked me (pointing to

  the corner) what Scotch Regiment it

  was. To my surprise it was a photo

  of young Busby, poor chap. A party

  of French men + women have just

  passed, walking through the adjacent

  trees. They waved vigorously at me +

  said haltingly "Good af-ter-noon".

  I replied (very impressively - ahem!)

  "Bon jour! Another rush of trains etc

  Well, lassie, I really haven't any real

  news - but this letter carries all my

  love to you + a goodnight as at Mrs

  Hague's at the weekend. Bless you. Give

  my love to all. Your loving husband,

  Stanley
