The parcel of letters arrived first & the letter, airmail, came yesterday so we steamed open the answering letter to slip in this.  Many thanks for the letter & all the information & you write you have more of them!  We should be very pleased to receive them any time when you can type of them out & once again I think it is wonderful of you to do so graciously!

Yes her life was fairly hectic there; I was polo mad!  I don't think I could really ride until I played the game for a while & then I developed into quite a good player, secretary of the Regt club & had all the arranging to do!  So they put a little mention of it in my last ???  report - all I wanted was about £500 a year private means!  Of course the Mess life was expensive with guest nights & you had to drink a bit though I tried to keep ???  all I could.  In the depot ???  the Deccan House we had none of that as the C.O was living very cheaply to pay for his son at Winchester and Sandhurst & his wife lived at home too, I never met her but they say that in her day she was the most beautiful woman in India!  And so I am rambling on!

We have no car as when I gave up golf I sold the scooter & now we walk everywhere!  Esters friends have cars & they take her hither & yon but I stay at home mostly & the garden & TV keep me busy and amused!

Physically no aches or pains but my memory plays the most appalling tricks which of course is a symptom of OLD AGE - Yah!

It is another wet windy day but not too cold as it's coming in from the north.  So they started a war on those islands!  I thought they would, silly fools.

Once again many thanks & love from us both
