I am pleased to hear Mother is improving and hope that you are quite better by now.
You will no doubt be surprised to hear that I have met young Jim Goodall out here. I saw him yesterday and today, and he and his pal are coming to have dinner on Thursday with me. They are a fine lot of chaps, his company, and his pal comes from Cockermouth. He knows heaps of Whitehaven chaps that I know, and we had a most enjoyable time.
What is this yarn about Mrs Burnyeat being a spy? The chap from Cockermouth had heard about it but did not know anything definite.
I had a letter from Billie and I have answered it. I want him to write to me as often as possible. I am anxious to hear how they are going on with the Battn.
Please send me another paid of socks and a dark flannel shirt. I think I told you I received your parcels safely from Liverpool also Mother's last week. You might also send some more envelopes. The weather has broken again, it is pouring this afternoon; still we are going to have dinner out again. Our hut is raining in parts, but not where I sleep thank goodness. We have thatched the roof but it is not exactly waterproof.
I hope Thompson likes his new work and that Father and all are well. I had Sarah's letter yesterday I shall write to her as soon as I have time.
Love to all at home. John.
