Scope and content

119 Page Moss Lane, Liverpool.—Bids him bon voyage. Like Smith, he has been disturbed by anti-aircraft guns, but it will be quieter at Upholland College, where he is now going. Encloses a portrait photo. Encourages him to call on Father Petit, who will give him the address of some friends in New York, and refers to Petit’s revision of the breviary. Hopes Smith will be happy in Venezuela. Has received a kind letter from Cuttle, incidentally revealing Smith’s ‘Romanism’.
