try to give him the rest of my news. By the way, those "hankys" I chose, I hope you will fidn you can use them. I expect the colors were pretty gay. I was in such a rush when I chose them, I was due to leave for Seaford that day but afterwards managed to get an extension, so after all I might have spent more time on my choice Let me know if there is any shopping I can do for you, I might get leave again some day!

With much love to you and all, your loving son Erroll
