DARJEELING,
18.9.32
My darling [deleted] Daddy [/deleted] [inserted] Mumy. [sic] [/inserted]
Thank you for your letter. I got 40 in English. The master who took us in English marked very stiff, the marks [deleted] were [/deleted] boys got were 48, 41, 38, 29, 27, 21, and three papers have not yet been corrected. I am sending you six more nestles pictures. Please send us a list of what you need every week.
The days are simply flying, there are only 69 days left. For the Rectors cup in hockey, the under 11 played one match, and the under 14 played one match. The goals shot by both sides were added and whoever had the most goals won the cup. St. Josephs won. Our under 11 were beaten 3-1, and our under 14 drew 1-1.
Stevie played centre forward for our under 14. He shot our goal. I was just [deleted] of [/deleted] over age. A few other of our good players were also over age, and could not play. One of our under 14 boys shot and the ball chiped [sic] and hit the post. This saturday [sic] the school are going to see Charly [sic] Chaplin in “City Lights.
[page break]
Last night the school showed with its own Cinema two pictures each [inserted] two [/inserted] [deleted] to [/deleted] reals, they were quite good. The first one was very good. Reginald D [deleted] J [/deleted] enny acted in it. I have seen one of the Nestles volume [underlined] II [/underlined] Pictures, it was very nice. One of the boys was sent it from England. It was a series [underlined] XVI [/underlined] one. Mr Rudra stopped Stevies leave, for fooling in Prep or something like that but he should not have stopped Stevies leave for it. I am ending now, with lots of love and Kisses from your loving son
[underlined] David [/underlined]

My darling Mummy and Daddy.
Thanks for your letters. I have lots of news today. Davey has been very nice to us, she took us to the pictures today, and then to Vals [sic], and then we rode up. She says to send her love to you. She will not be coming back next, but is going to Poona, isn’t that a shame? The picture was on Friday the 13th. We enjoyed it very much. I suppose you must remember Miss Lawson, well she is getting married next year. I think she was the music teacher. In any case it would be much [deleted] nicer [/deleted] [inserted] better [/inserted] for you to come to Naini as you will be with us. I am glad to hear you have got Dons [sic] pup and that she is very sweet. Fancy Don & Bill not liking her at all, but dog’s [sic] always hate pups. So Prince has become very friendly with her. I am so sorry to hear about poor old aunty Phyl. The second round of the Leslie tournament has begun. My class lost against Steve [sic] class this time 2-0, because
[page break]
two of our men were missing as they were hurt. I have not lost [deleted] ed [/deleted] any of my tennis matches yet. I am glad to hear the young eve gave two lambs, there must be quite a lot now.
I think Cinders is a jolly fine name for the Pup, especialy [sic] as she is smoky’s. [deleted] T [/deleted] Yes Mum I will work very hard now, as there is only a month left. We had a Caesar Test and I got 30 on 50, and 38% for Trignometry [sic]. I should have done much better in the Trig, I don’t know how I got such a little. No, the new Governor has not arrived yet I suppose he will be coming soon. I hope poor old Bill gets well soon. Give our love to Niersres . I heard from Lall again, they have just finished their pujahs. My class is playing the Specials [deleted] indecipherable letter [/deleted] in cricket tomorrow. It is knockouts. Steve’s class won their match against the X. Steve made 2nd highest score 1st inns, and highest score 2 inns. No more news today, with lots of love & kisses

My darling Mummy and Daddy,
Thanks for your letter. The first round of the Leslie Cup has begun. My class has played against the X, IX, XB, we lost against the [deleted] indecipherable letter [/deleted] XA 9-0, but beat the IX, XB, 3-0, 4-2. I played a IX standard boy in this tennis cup, but we only got through [deleted] indecipherable letter [/deleted] four games and it was time up as some boys had played before us. I was winning
3-1. And against a X boy he beat me 6-1, then I beat him 6-1, and the [indecipherable word] third set the score is 2-2 and we will finish it later. Steve won both his matches. The IX upwards are -30. Please send us some toothbrushes. I forgot to answer in one of you letters if either of us dropped our clubs, well any way neither of us did. Steve was right in from [sic] but did not make any mistakes. I went skating today and am getting on well. I am getting on in Music and Class, and will try very hard. There is only about a month and a half left for the exams. This year the exams
[page break]
have been changed. There are no more honours. And all the subjects have been arranged in four groups. It is compulsory to pass in one of each of the groups. The [deleted] Col [/deleted] Culhame Cup Tournament (Cricket) is beggining [sic] tomorrow. It is knockouts. I think we are playing the specials. I am glad to hear the dogs are more friendly. I wish they would make proper friends. How is the baby airdale getting on. Don’t forget to train her well. Have you given her a name yet? It gave two pictures of St. Pauls Sports in the newspaper, one of the visitors childrens race and one of the tug-o-war. I suppose you must have seen [deleted] it [/deleted] them. Please send me Rs 2-8 as I have to pay a rupee for Masses, a ruppee [sic] for the cambridge picnic and a ruppee for the class masters present. Never mind about the balance 8 as [deleted] [undecipherable word] [/deleted] as I have paid some up already. No more news today with lots of love and kisses from your loving

[deleted] indecipherable letter [/deleted] We were allowed except to places out of bounds. I am glad to hear there are three more new lambs. I heard from Lall today and he has just finished some exams, and they are practicing for the sports. That blighter Ronald has not written for a very long time.
[deleted] Steve’s class, [/deleted] Most of the classes came for a picnic [deleted] t [/deleted] to Blowali [sic] on Thursday. And Steve came as well. There was parade when he came so I could not
[page break]
speak to him, but only waved out.
We are having practice matches for the inter class tournaments now. The march up from Camp was quite stiff. It was very cold [deleted] at camp [/deleted] in the mornings at camp. There was [inserted] interschool [/inserted] boxing but no tournament as other years. My weight stripped is 7 stone 13lbs. I hope the seeds are a sucess, [sic] dont forget to [deleted] put [/deleted] sow, lettuce, radish, peas, and [underlined] spring unions [sic] [/underlined]. I am glad to hear Dons wound is nearly allright, [sic] I hope they won’t fight any more.
We might finish our match with the 9th today. Counting our 2nd innings handicap, they are beating us by 7 runs so it ought [deleted] be [/deleted] to be quite exciting.
No more news today, with lots of love and kisses from your loving son

My darling Mummy and Daddy. [deleted] Tha [/deleted]
Thanks for the nice long letters. I am glad to hear the dogs are getting on well. We went for a swim today and had a fine time. We tried swallow dives and what not. I tried the dead mans dive. that is headfirst with hands and I nearly turned a sumersalt [sic] in the water.
We leave our letter open on the desk and the class brother reads them and then closes them. Your letters to us are never opened or read by anyone.
The college supply [deleted] trews [/deleted] [inserted] vests [/inserted] to everyone every year. So you need not bother about them, (for club drilling I mean.) We dont [sic] know anything more about the Downes. I am glad to hear Nicholas [?] has got a job. Rs 75 a month is better than nothing. I am glad to hear Mrs. Ardall is much better.
The English is quite good. I will reply soon.
[deleted] An [/deleted] A European gave a conjuring show yesterday. It was very good. He rubbed out a line blind folded and stopped at letters written and called out what they were. Then boys wrote questions on a piece of paper and one
[page break]
of the boys read them to himself and he said (conjurer) what the questions were and gave answers. One question was Does my girl love me? He asked two boys to take a number from 1-15 and he said three. So the conjurer says two girls how can I tell you until I know which you mean. We all roared with laughter and then the show was stopped because it was getting late. There were two tricks left. One was to make milk float from a jug to a glass some distance away. He put some rise [?] in a [deleted] vase [/deleted] lota and then after a few minutes brought out water.
P.S.C are playing the band today. It is the finals of this tournament. I heard from Lall today. Havelock won the Cricket and football cup & Hockey has just begun. I fired 21 shots today with a 3.03. We are going to the Range on the 16th, 17th 18th We will fire 75 rounds every day. The rain is an awful nuisance here.
If we go to England will you make our home with Aunty Maisie? No more news, today.
With love David.

My darling Mummy.
Thank you for your letter. We went and saw “Whoopee” and it was absolutely gorgeous, if you ever get a chance of seeing it, you must. We saw it as a talkie. It was coloured from the beggining[sic] to the end. Eddie Cantor who was the chief actor was very funny indeed. We are collecting nestles pictures. All the nestles pictures you can get please give them to Thelma and not to us, as she asked you first. We [deleted] had [/deleted] [inserted] got [/inserted] a very nice letter from Blossom, and she asked us to tell her your address, so we will. The days are simply flying. Every boy exept [sic] one got honours in theory, but he passed. Stevie got 94, and I got 88.
I am ending now with lots of love and kisses from your loving son
David
P.S. I am very glad you have done so well.

My darling Mummy.
Thank you for your letter. By my rough paper Miss Sheluetan says I have passed. I was only blessed by the Bishops, but the rector said he would like all the confirmation boys to take communion from the Bishop who confirmed them, and the rector said he would like the Armenian boys to go as well. Yes Mummy I always will take it very reverently. In the Latin exam 2 boys tied for 1st place with 81 and another came 2nd with 56 and I came 3rd with 50. We played the team that beat us two love and they beat us this time 4-1. But the referee was from the same regiment as theirs. Our 2nd XI played a Young Tamar team from where St. Josephs is and we beat them 5-0. Our 2nd XI are playing St. Joseph’s this Wednesday. I am sending a few more [indecipherable word] pictures. Has Thelma got any Constellation pictures.?. The monsoons are beginning. The days are going very quickly. If enough money can be raised from the scouts we are going to have a camp at Sun Duc Foo which is 1009 ft high. I am ending now with lots of love and kisses from your loving

My darling Mummy.
Please excuse me writing in pencil. I am sorry for not answering one of your letters as I did not have it on me. No I did not find out why my leave was stopped. Another boy and I are the leaders of the choir. It will soon be time for the gym display. A few days ago we went to see a picture called, “Win that Girl” and it was very nice. Foot-ball season has started now. To-day is a holiday being the king’s birthday and we are going dow [deleted] ing [/deleted] to the market square in about an hour. We are having nice weather again. Stevie went to the Dentist yesterday and had some of the gaps between his front teeth filled.
I am ending now with lots of love and kisses from your loving son
