Dear Jack, received your P.C. and hope you  
will excuse me for not answering  
it before now, but really have not  
had time. Pleased to hear you are 
keeping well & also enjoying yourself.

get something soon. You have never 
mentioned Lil in any of your 
letters but she is keeping all right & 
sometimes she goes out to meet you.
