Dear Sir
I am sorry to say that
your pen and mine for a long time
did not converse with each other.
I have wrritten to you since I have
received that book and the tracks
and the photo-graphs from you
and I think twice. I am now
dewelling in Suffolk in the
village Kessingland by name
about 900 or more people in the
village. on the north of this village
there is a place called Lowestoft -
the most easterly point of England
many people come to bathe here
on account of the fine weather
But most of the people come in
the summer season.

after a month or so. His wife is

mission stations is to be started.
My kind regards to all in
your house, and I will add
