I am getting two [indecipherable word] printed and Mummy will send them on to you, our photo album is getting on well. I got only 28 marks for History, the master marked very stiffly, only 4 boys got above 40 the rest 40 and below. [inserted] The highest being 66 [/inserted]. If you write one letter to both of us it will be quite alright [sic]. My house 1. [underlined] ST [/underlined] eleven beat Hastings house 1.[underlined] ST [/underlined] eleven
