7 Wallace Court,
300, Marylebone Road,
London. N.W.1.,
12th October, 1937,
My own darling Daddy.
Thanks ever so much for your letter and all your news. I am glad you are putting Neises [sic] up for a few days. Poor fellow it is just that he is out of place and I am sure he will get on much better in Persia. Please give him my love and I wish him all good luck.
This boil of mine had given a lot of trouble but thank God it as [deleted] allm [/deleted] almost allright [sic] now. On Saturday it looked as if it would burst and then it receeded. So I could not go to work on Monday but instead went hunting for a moderate doctor. I went to St. Mary’s outdoor dispensary but no luck and then the porter told us the name of the doctor he went to, and as he is from St. Mary’s we went to him. He saw the boil and prescribed a paste which burst the boil in one night. I will resume my studies probably on Thursday. The doctor was awfully decent and only charged 2/6 including some medicine he gave me. Now at least we know where to go if anything happens. Mummy went for a perm yesterday & they have done it very well. So Mum is going to ask Sylvia out one of these days. To-day Molly Hay and Miss Frahay are coming to tea. The former was a teacher when Mummy
[page breaK]
was a student in Maine [?]. I am supposed to go for a fitting for my suit to-day, but will have to put it off on account of this boil. Steve went and played hockey at St. Mary’s ground in Tedington [sic] and just before the game the ball was passed to him but he missed it so a couple of bright English lads suggested then Steve miss hit and there were some more sniggers. Anyway the game started and the smallest chap on the field (Steve) scored only seven goals, even dribbling the goalkeeper and shooting one. So the bright English lads must have woken up with a terrible wish. Now that Steve has begun his work Auntie Maisie has [inserted] asked [/inserted] Mum down for the day any day in the week. SO Mum wll probably go some time next week. Rachel is still sowing her wild oats, I must see into it. K.K. has no boys and [deleted] M [/deleted] Aunty Maisie’s explanation is that she would if anyone would have her. I am glad to hear you have reached 1 Lakk[?] and do hope you get [deleted] two [/deleted] to 2 1/2 Lakks. Well no more to-day, God bless and keep and bring you back safely to us, with lots of love and kisses
from your loving son
[underlined] David. [/underlined]
