Dear Lew.
How the hell do you think I can obtain petrol coupons. I know I hold an executive position, but as you are aware the mis-use of coupons is against the law and although I am [indecipherable word] I havent found a fire proof way of obtaining them. However, if at all

About this girl Pamela, has there been any intercourse between you and something gone wrong?

You see I happen to be the only one of a fine old gang left, and I am called upon to go out on the booze every

time one of the boys come home, and for the past 5 weeks one or the other has been here, they have all gone, Stan Samaworth, Albert Price, Harry Cooke, and Maurice Gaisford etc. and I am getting completely cheesed hanging around Oxford by myself, so hurry up and get some leave and we'll proceed to paint the Town red, probably with all your recent practice, you are getting somewhere near my drinking capacity.

All the Best.
