long ago since he wrote to us. I feel that I really should have written to him. But you see how it is we keep putting these things off until it gets so long and in the finish we do not write at all. So if you will let us know if he is still at Blackpool and at the same address. I should write to him. Kath Cook is still at Bedford in a sanatorium she as been their [sic] about three months now. but is allowed to get up for three hours a day now. I have not been to see her but I feel I ought to although it is a long way to go. I could have had a job over Stevenage at Kings Factory as our firm is building their [sic] but I refused it.
