My own darling Dad.
Thanks ever so much for your letter and all your news. Steve and I will stand a sporting chance in the senior doubles. We will both do our best to suceed [sic] in life and repay you for all you have done for us.
The inter-class tennis tournament has begun, my class don’t stand much of a chance. In the “A” Singles against the IX best of 13 games. I lost to Fosbury 7-1. He is dash good and I beat Brown 7-6. This evening we are playing the Specials so I play Steve and then Fardoonji. Not knowing that we were playing I played the whole of this morning, anyway I will do my best. I dont [sic] know when the individual playing will commence. I dont [sic] play games like hockey at present because I have a slight rupture.
There are two very important things for me to tell you. No. 1. If you possibly can please cancel that boat-train stuff, so that we can go into Bombay a day or two
[page break]
earlier and see our boy friends. No. 2. Tell Roy, the tennis shop fellow that he will have the pleasure of interviewing Steve and myself. You know that gut he put on my racket for which he charge Rs 10. Well it is only [deleted] indecipherable word [/deleted] cheap country gut not worth even Rs 4. How we found out [deleted] was [/deleted] was that Steve is having it strung on his racket and the man said it is cheap Indian gut.
We have now really settled down [missing word] hard work. We went across to Mum last evening and had a good feed. Mum was not too well but now that she has fed herself up a bit she is really looking fine again. We [inserted] have [/inserted] had a spot of rain lately and it has turned quite cold. Well no more news to-day. God bless & keep you for us.
With lots of love and kisses from
your loving son

ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE
NAINI TAL
12th October 1936.
My own darling Dad.
Thanks ever so much for your letter and all your news. We have both got back from camp safe and sound and as fit as ever owing to the early morning P.T. and the marching etc. We had a really grand time in camp and were all very sorry to leave.
I went to camp with Rs10 and returned with Rs9. of course I received Rs5 blue lights which enables you to buy stuff from the Canteen and I made Rs5 through – careful speculation!
In the Sports we got 7 cups not 8, but in camp the governor distributed the shooting prizes. I got a cup for .22 shooting I came first in it in all schools and a second for snap shooting and a cup [deleted] for [/deleted] as I was in the Langley cup which we won; So we are bringing home 10 cups this year, [deleted] Qite [/deleted] quite a haul. We won the Langley Cup and the M.P. Shield. Sherwood won the Alison Cup and P.S.C. the Cadet shield. So we have once more come off best. We have won the M.P.
[page break]
shield for the last six years.
Now that the Sports and camp are over I will study my hardest and try and do well in the Lessons. In Camp the doctor had an alsation and a great dane and the [indecipherable] which he had from a pup would do anything he told, to walk on the left of the road, to knock a person down, to jump over the other dog and they even play tug o war. It was terribly cold in camp and we have all got colds.
I have been playing games lately and I am much better for it. Thank God my hand does not hinder me [deleted] a [/deleted] in any way. The Inter-class tournaments are about to begin. Probably the tennis will also be on soon. Steve and I are playing together in the Senior Doubles and will do our best. We stand a sporting chance. Well no more news to-day. God bless and keep you for us. With lots of love and kisses from your
Loving son
David.
