Scope and content
W[est] H[ackhurst]. - Oasis is 'nothing much', as Bessie will see, and he does not want it back. The promoters sent him the first number, he replied saying he'd enjoyed it and 'hoped "the young" would go on writing, whatever the obstacles, otherwise no one would know how to hold a pen after the war stopped'; they then asked permission to quote this.
Comments on the mild weather; hopes that Bob is enjoying it and 'gathering strength', and that they have all escaped colds. He himself has been 'having rather a career with one... and still can't taste the difference between rum, cheese-straws, and red-currant jam'.
