My officer under instruction is
deep in your other tale. I had
just begun it, but he was out of a
book. So I shall shortly resume
at the Cauldstane slap. I report
anon.

I have done well in books &
I am not surprised at the fame
of Pêcheur d'Islande.

What can you send me?
I should enjoy one or two of your most
recent French Library - what you
think I wd like. Is René Bazin's
de toute son Ame good?

I think Caesar's de bello Gallico
in a simple school edition with
a vocabulary would interest me
very much just now.

If you have any new Spanish
Nelsons since I left that are good
I shd love one, but I'd need a
pocket Teubner or Garnier.
