HIGH COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE,
JOHANNESBURG,

Jan: 9:: 1902

My dear Bird [in pencil 'his brother Walter']

I was very much pleased to
receive your profound letter. It is sad
to think of you flapping your wings in
N. Kelvinside and contemplating the
Campsies. Do you ever see the
clerical C. H. Dick? He should be
a near neighbour. I hope you won't
be very dowie before your parents
return and reconstitute your home.
