I do odd jobs in “B” Flight. They found out I could
read and write so I have the log-books to look after :
in spare time I sweep floors & fill up indents : clerk,
office-boy, charman. Life is very good that So good that
the Seven Pillars have lagged, while I play.

Not yet have I reached the stars of mape. ‘ It is terrible
to be so slow: my poor subscribers! However, The text
was finished last week: index next month (March is devoted
to Cape’s abridged text, which is due by contract on March
31) may in May. As soon as that is ready I will go up to
G.S.G.S. and talk sweetly to them about it.

The W.O. map of which you have sent me two copies will suit
me very well, when modified.

Let’s see. I promised you a plain text, didn’t I? They
will be coming along in a few weeks.

Are you in Cranborne over Easter? I want to run down to
Bovington, if I can square it here : and would like to drop
in en route …… supposing you were there.

The book is being very well done, I think : typographically.
If only the writing was up to standard.
