Asks if Bob could lend him the issue of the Abinger Chronicle containing 'a piece of fun by me entitled Luncheon in Pretoria'; wants to have it typed out, as he is 'collecting together various pamphlets, articles, etc, to see whether they look like a book'.

Very glad that Bessie is 'comfortable and doing well'. Mr MacEvoy went yesterday; 'he seemed cheerful, and so did she'; admires 'their way of taking it very much'.
