It seemed to me to contain better "bits" than the
first two parts. No doubt they are too "bitty": a whole
Cadet College would be longer than Depot.
Speed is a wonderful thing. I wrote a string of
articles about bike rides: but the Motor cycle paper would
not take them -- so this is the sole survivor. Last
Saturday I had a good run up to London (225 miles) &
returned on Sunday. Averaged over 40: and touched 94
at times. A nobly running bike.
Of course one is always apart & intact: but to see
another airman in the street (for me) like one ship
sighting another at sea. The sea becomes not lonely, all
at once.
Yes, I would like the dedication of your novel: Your poems
everybody would. You are a very good writer. Your poems
(of which I'll write to you when I feel less unworthy of
them) prove it. They are a delight.
Yours
