I hear there
is a regb: pelt: for
you. Have you got
it? x or letter.
Dear Old Boy,
Who allowed you to take ill? How
could you do such a thing? Well Stan;
all I hope is that your case is not
a serious one and that by now you
are feeling a bit happier than you
did when you left us. It was rotten

against hope that I'll join you in
that delectable spot at which we've
cast longing glances on our way to
+ from the Bull Ring. We've got a holiday
thanks to you but I'd rather it
had been any other man but you.
The last streak of sunshine in my
soldiering has died out with your
departure. why on earth did I quote
