old friends – No news from Dick
since two weeks or more. I suspect

Dear ol Nor will have a birthday
on the 9th of next month – I fear
it will be a lonely one – Not that
that matters particularly I suppose
i.e. compared to some things.

There was a fine service in our
church last Sunday – Mr. Miel
officiated for the last time – I
wanted to go but was sick in
bed with a cold – Father went
& said it was fine!! I was sorry
