Dear Mr Jerems
I have just received a letter
from my husband. at the time of writing
26 Oct was still in London. he had a very
pleasant trip down North of England to his
own native Town. and writes that he is
splendid in health except for the trouble
with his eye I forgot to mention when writing
to you that was his trouble he was injured
in the eye. of course other wounds
I have a report - sent one of a send off
his relations and friends gave him before going
back to London and I would like so
much to send it to the North Shore Times
but I think it is rather long may not be
interesting so if it is not to much to ask of you
to write one a copy I am enclosing the
one sent to you can leave out axactly what
you like. I am sorry to be such a trouble
but not been able to do anything in the writing
line you will be doing a great favour and
just put what you think nice. he also
sent his photo which I will have put in
with the report. With kind regards to Mrs Jerems
I remain very sincerely J Heatherington
