They were 49 all out and we were 70 for 4 wickets. I was Captain of the Cotten Hall team. We played them again with some of their team boys playing and we [deleted] were [/deleted] had Mr Bean playing for us. 1st Inns [sic] we were 84 all out and they were 146 all out. 2nd Inns we were 156 for 4 wickets Mr Bean having made 86 out.

I hurt my Knee [sic] and my mouth, but it is nothing much. We saw Mummy yesterday and today when our team went to Kurseong and played them we beat them by 9 wickets and a few runs. They are coming up to our school to play us a return match. We had a [deleted] m [/deleted] Maths Exam this week, but we have not been given our marks as yet. We have now collected 43 Pamflits [sic] not counting duplicits [sic]. We are trying to change the duplicits [sic]. I am ending now with lots of love and Kisses [sic] from
