3 days earlier, + they are still here

but have gone back to the same old

trainings (bull-ring etc). He says 

the report of Ted Bawtry's death is

untrue, + I'm very pleased it is so. I

wish you could have seen me yesterday

afternoon, in the wash house sat on

an upturned bucket, having my hair

cut by the orderly, who acts as amateur

hairdresser to the compound. He made

a very good job of it too - practically

as good as I could get in York I 

think. My legs are finally

getting stronger again, altho' I am

of course very tired by bed-time. The

protection for my watch-wristlet finally

broke off the other day (it had been strained

for some weeks past), but I think it

will be alright now until I can get

another. It was very sad about the

girl getting drowned at Cayton, but

I alwa...there is a tear in the paper here knew the bay was treacherous
