I only mention these qualifications in order that you may avoid thinking that I owe him anything and feeling that you should repay. Treat him as a friend of mine but not at all as a creditor.

I hope you remember me now & again to the old friends like Jack Musgrave & Bob Swinerton, Fred Pemb, Harry Pooley, Bill Oliver, Dick Elliot, Harvey Combe & Fort & any others you think of.
