Little fresh news since my last letter. Not feeling too fit yet but the time passes quickly since I have quite a lot to do and read a fair amount. My senses have completely returned but alas I can put them to little use here since I don’t eat half as much and have little tobacco. Do arrange for a regular supply of the latter, please. Always thinking of you and Frances. Lots of love to both
Always yours. John
