My dear Taffy,

Many thanks for your letter. I am
grieved to hear of that wretched bicycle
-man's perfidy. I had a letter from old
Milne. It read like an extract from the Book of
Job. What can that ancient man be doing
with himself?

I wish you joy in Germany. I hope that
New. Coll. man may not be a raging maniac
and cut your throat. I distrust New Coll.
