Dear Daddy,
Whoops! Oh you should see mothers hair! Two little buns [sketch of buns] at the back – like Auntie Nellie. [Sketch of Auntie Nellie]
I’m having to do with the old goose – very unwillingly – like I do with the broodies. Keep her shut up all day & let her out for 15-20 mins at night & then send her back. If I left door open Mrs Grey would go on too & if I didn’t send the old goose off she wouldnt [sic] go. [Sketch of hen and eggs] Skegness is so Bracing. I’ll just go & test the eggs [Sketch of leaving with eggs]

Tuesday 2nd July
Dear Daddy,
So glad to hear that Vesuvious has been in eruption [drawing]. We are very busy now we’ve heard the news. [drawing] We got out pick axes [drawing] spades etc, rolled up our sleeves & set to work to fell a few weeds [drawing] Harry got out the reaper & cut the lawn [drawing]. Mary & I unearthed a few weeds [drawing] & mother got a pick axe & unloaded the soil [drawing]. Unfortunately Mary got lost in a bed of giant goose-grass & hasn’t been seen since; Harry ran over an ant-hill & was knocked off the reaper falling with his head on a boulder & has been taken to Newark Hospital
[page break]
2
After vain efforts to get her pick-axe into the soil mother suddenly struck a large rabbit hole & her axe went right through & mother was so taken unawares that I regret to say fell in & got lost in that gloomy subterranean passage. Anyway I told my old friend Moses the mole to tell her, if he saw her, to come up & see me some time. So now there’s only me left & I only just escaped to tell the tale for I came across a huge spider [drawing] set on me & but for my Indian Game, would have dined on me, but they, seeing a friend in need & rushed up & killed him.
Out of those five there will be two cocks [drawing] two hens [drawing] & one angel [drawing]
The other two are beauties. [drawing] One about 90% pure I.G. & the other 75%
Gosh! “Have you ever seen a dream walking?”
[page break]

My own darling Daddy.
Thanks very much for your letter and the fruits which Mummy brought me. Mummy comes to see me often. She came today and we chatted for a long time. I am so glad to hear Stevie is progressing favourably Thank God for it. Mummy got a letter from the nurse who took Steve down and she says that he will be able to play games in six months. I am working very hard now. We all thought at home that I had just managed to pass the S.C. Well I passed with credit. That is not so bad is it? I passed three subjects with good and four with credit. I only failed in two subjects out of sixteen. The three goods were Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry. You will soon get my detailed results. Anyway I am sending you a copy as I

I played for Ireland. We lost 4-2 after leading [indecipherable word] 2-0. This time it was foot-ball. It is beautifully warm this year. Last it was uncomfortably cold. If you come up with Steve you will be here for the Summer which is about the best in the year. Mummy says I had better not take up any exams in music but [indecipherable word] just learn so as I will be able to play well. My details are as follows.

I am glad to hear you arrived [deleted] saft [/deleted] safely. Thanks very much for the nice time you gave us when you were up here. We were given a holiday on Friday for winning the cup, but we were not allowed out. We went for a swim on Friday and today. The water has become much warmer and we can enjoy our swims now. In the last few days two Nuns in the convent have died. We have started football. [deleted] we [/deleted] My class played the VII today [inserted] (in cricket). [/inserted] We only finished one innings each. We were 100 all out and they were 84 including 10 runs start. I took three wickets today in five overs. Mummy came and saw us for a few minutes today. Dont [sic] forget to keep the dogs. I suppose you will have to give Bill away, but keep the others. There have been a few fires on the hills since you left. We have not been told
[page break]
about having to be inoculated so we will ask the nurse as she has most probably been told. We saw the regatta last evening. It was a hopeless show from beginning to end. There is no concert for the Principal’s feast this year as it takes too much trouble getting it up. We will have one during the sports holidays. We have not so strong a football team this year as last year’s but there aren’t any really strong teams up this year. The band is supposed to be good. They are the only team we ought to find hard to beat. Well no more news today as I have to play football. God bless & keep you for us with love & kisses from your loving son

My own Darling Daddy.
Thanks ever so much for your letter and all the news. Many happy returns of the day. [Deleted word] God bless and keep you for us. So Bill got the better of the fight. Its very surprising as the other dog is so much heavier. I am glad to hear you are nearly settled down now. Steve is being careful of his arm. He is playing cricket but not hockey or foot-ball. The rains have broken at last. We have nothing but rain now. We are going to the convent concert tomorrow. Our B beat P.S.C. B 2-1 last saturday. This saturday our A plays the “Reserve Police”. The matches of this tournament are league. Monday was a holiday for Brother Connelly’s feast. We went out with Mummy on Sunday and

and went through Government house grounds. We also went skating. Mummy came to see us this evening and then went to the convent concert. At present we are having [inserted] an [/inserted] interclass foot-ball tournament. Each [deleted word] class entering an A and B team. So far my class has won all its matches A & B. I play for the A and am Captain of the B. That is my class A and B. [deleted word] Swimming is quite enjoyable now as the water is much warmer. My class played the VII in the cricket tournament and beat them by 7 runs even though our Captain was not playing. I only made 9 runs and was then caught. Just as I was getting set. No more news today [deleted word] God bless & keep you for us with lots of love and
kisses from your

My own darling Daddy.
Thanks ever so much for your letter. I am glad to hear you have settled down now. How is your leg getting on? I hope it is much better. The man Steve goes to for his electric treatment says it will be quite allright [sic] for [deleted word] him to play cricket. In fact he says it will do it good. Any way he wont [sic] play till we hear from you again. We saw Mummy yesterday when we went for a walk. She went to the “Barretts of Wimpol [sic] Street” after seeing us. She is also coming up to see us today. We read Mummy’s story in the Odd Moment magazine and it was quite good. We have been having our quarterlies these last few days but have not yet had our marks. French is the only paper that has been marked so far. I got 36 for it. That’s not bad considering I’ve only done
[page break]
it for one year. Our A team played the band A and lost 2-0. We had terrible luck. We missed about four or five sure goals. We still have a chance if the band lose a match. I am learning piece for the orchestra and will most probably play for the concert (if I am able) which will take place during the sports. I will try hard to get in. Steve is also playing. Since Steve has begun the electric treatment again his arm has got much better. D.V. he ought to soon have the normal use of it again. The weather here is not so bad either. But the rain is an [deleted] d [/deleted] awful nuisance sometimes. Well no more news today, God bless and keep you for us
with lots of love and kisses
from your loving
[underlined] son Dave [/underlined]

My darling Daddy.
Thanks ever so much for your nice long letter. I am glad to hear old Don came back. He must have been galavanting. I thought as much Bill would be a match for any of the dogs at Narsingdi. We went out with Mummy for the last Saturday and stayed at the Grand Hotel as Mrs Hearne’s was full up. I prefer Mrs Hearne’s. We had a fine time. The name of the College concert this year is, “The New Boy.” It is quite good and very witty at parts. I will most probably be acting. Please don’t tell Mummy a word about it, as it [deleted] shall [/deleted] will give her a surprise. On Thursday we went to All Saints College concert. It was very good. Mummy acted very well. Nearly everyone said she acted best. Till the evening it was a variety entertainment and then a play
[page break]
was acted, [deleted word] called “ Pedro the Torreador.” The band won this football tournament. They played an exhibition match with the Command last evening and beat them 4-1. The second tournament drawings are out and we play Command “B” first. [deleted] We [/deleted] We are only entering one team. My class teams are together now equal with the VIII and we are both coming first. This interclass tournament continues till the end of this month. A boxing trainer has come to the College and we are having training. So our Boys should do better in the camp boxing this year.
I forgot to say we went to the range some time ago to fire our course. I don’t know how much I [deleted] got [/deleted] scored but I haven’t done badly. I came 11.[underlined] th [/underlined] in class out of 24 boys. That’s not too bad. No more news today. God bless and keep for us. With lots

your loving son

My own darling Daddy.
Thanks ever so much for your nice letter. Steve is being careful of his arm so there is no need to worry. Cricket has stopped on account of the rain. I will be careful in future and will not get into trouble. This was my first row so its nothing. I have already paid up the four rupees from my own savings and will leave it at that as Mummy is spending a lot on us. I have already learnt my first [deleted word] concert piece and must now become perfect at it so as to be able to play it fast. Mummy came and saw us last evening before we went out. She gave us a surprise for not only was my pullover ready but also Steve’s. They both look very nice and fit us perfectly. Poor Steve had an apsis [sic] under one of his eye teeth. He had the tooth out and the apsis [sic] lanced. He is quite allright [sic] now except for a slight
[page break]
swelling which is only to be expected.
On Wednesday our “B” lost to the Command 5-1. And last evening they lost P.S.C. “A” 3-0. That’s good for them. Our “A” beat the Ghouska’s last evening 5-1. Our goalkeeper was missing as he had a dislocated ankle. We had a Latin Test yesterday. I do not think I did badly. I am getting on well in class, music and games. The other day we had a terrific downpour for a few hours. Our big field was simply flooded with water. In the interclass tournament my class is second. We are only three points behind the leading class. We will soon be having the knockouts. These are very exciting and rough. No more news today with lots of love and kisses God bless & keep you for us your loving
[underlined] son Dave [/underlined]

My own darling Daddy.
Thanks ever so much for your nice letter. Both Steve and I played for the orchestra today. It was a bit difficult being our first time, but we shall soon get into it. The piano is scarcely heard so it doesn’t matter much. [deleted] It [/deleted] The piano is put in so as to complete the harmony or something like that. We saw Mummy on Wednesday evening and last evening I accompanied her to the Capitol and then came back to the College boys. I had my first injection day before yesterday. My arm was a bit painful and didn’t feel too bright, but it did not knock me out. Steve will go soon. His arm is ever so much better. In fact it is very nearly normal. In the inter class tournament my class is still a few points behing [sic] the leading
[page break]
one, but we hope to catch up soon. The second football [deleted] team [/deleted] tournament has begun. P.S.C. “A.” beat a Ranicat team 3-0 and our “A” beat the Command “B” 12-0. With a little luck we might win this tournament. We have not [deleted] hear [/deleted] entered a “B” team this tournament as it would be useless to do so. I was very surprised to hear from Mummy that I had a bad report, especially as I have worked and seldom missed my lessons. The marks of the whole class were low. The boy came first only got two honours one of which was Urdu and that the Urdu master corrected. He got one or two 60’s and 50’s and the rest in the 40’s. I don’t know how I did so badly in Latin considering there were only two questions and I got one almost completely right by heart from the book. Mummy will explain why the marks are so low. Well no more news today. God bless & keep you for us. With lots of Love & kisses
from your loving son

My own darling Daddy.
Thanks ever so much for your letter. No dad we [deleted] have [/deleted] had never seen Queen Christina before. You must be thinking of Katherine the Great. I would [deleted] much [/deleted] prefer to take part in the drill than play for it. So would Mummy prefer that but I suppose I will have to play. Steve’s arm is definitely better. I heard from Lall the other day. He is getting on well and hopes to pass the G.C. We will most probably go out with Mummy. We played the X [underlined] th [/underlined] A and beat them 2-0. Bobby scored the first and I headed in the second. Our [deleted] be [/deleted] “B” won the semi-final and lost to the X B in the final. 1-0. Here we had got so far ahead that we could not be beaten even if we lost the “A” finals. We played the “A” final and after extra time the score was 3-3.
[page break]
So to finish off the match we tossed up as to who had won. The specials won the toss. The cups are beauties but there are not enough so from our whole class we have picked the teams to play against each other for the cups. My team has drawn a by and is in the final. The cups are well worth winning. I don’t know if I will be able to play for the orchestra as it will clash with the concert. We have had a fine spell of fair whether [sic]. Not a drop of rain for about a week. But it is threatening now to spoil our last Saturday. We are going to see to Chow Chin Chow [sic] today with Mummy. Mummy knows that I am acting as the last time I went out I had to be up in time for concert practice. Well no more news today. God bless and keep you for us. With lots of love & kisses from your
loving son

My own darling Daddy.
Thanks ever so much for your letter. Well nearly everything is over now except camp. We set out for Bhawali on the 6th. I did not do to badly in the sports. I came 2nd in the half-mile and got a nice cup. My class won the inter-class relay so I got a medal also and a cup for football. Not at all bad. Steve [deleted] go [/deleted] won a medal for coming 2nd in place kicking. I will get my shooting medals on prize giving day. The sports were a sucess.[sic] We had a fine time during the holidays.

Rain. There was quite a crowd of [indecipherable] boys at Jocksley Hall So we had a fine time. We have learnt a couple of very amusing drawing room jokes. The rink has been refloored and is quite nice now. I also went horse riding. I was still quite at home in the saddle. I did quite well in the last series of tests. I came 9th. That’s gone up two places from the [deleted] la [/deleted] first series. I lost in the boxing to one of my class boys. It was hardly a fight as [deleted] none [/deleted] neither of us went at it. The boxing has been very badly arranged and when boys of the same class come together, especially friends, there is hardly a fight. It has turned very cold these last few

I recieved [sic] a letter from Lall Stoult, one of my old class fellows broke the record in his class for high jump. He did 5ft 3ins. he will most probably do much better in a couple of years as he is still young. Mummy has gone into Bhawali to-day with Doris Lucas and another student. In the end [obscured] person did not turn up at Mrs Hearness but [deleted] is [/deleted] it is much jollier at Jocksley Hall as there are people of our own [indecipherable] there.
Well no more news today
God bless & keep you & Mummy for us with lots of love & kisses from your loving son David.

14/10/35.
My own darling Daddy.
Thanks ever so much for your letter and the newspaper cuttings. They are most interesting. Yes thank God the Gowdowns were not burnt. I am glad to hear that there was not much jute[sic] burnt[deleted]d[/deleted]. I arrived safely from camp yesterday, after having a fine time. If we had a month of camp we would all come back strong men. While giving in rifles one of the boys rifles fell straight on my foot so I am not playing games for a few days. It was lucky that I had army [deleted]f[/deleted] boots on. [deleted] I w[/deleted] we saw Mummy today and had a long chat. Steve’s arm does not effect him in the least while playing tennis. In fact he is playing a much harder game now.
[page break]
I won a [indecipherable] in camp in one of the shooting competitions and was done out of one in another. I didn’t half curse the adjutant. Hockey has begun again. The Leslie Tournament (Hockey), Interclass begins on Sunday. I hope my class does something. We have had no more rain but it is turning quite cold now. The water in the morning is awful.
Never mind Dad you won’t be lonely much longer please God, as there are less than 60 days left.
My class played the xth[sic] in cricket this morning. We made less than 50 all out and they are still below us for six wickets. I made a duck. Well no more news today. God bless & keep you both for us.with lots of love & kisses from your loving son.
David.
