25.2.14Royal Engineers British Legation Guard Peking, North China Dear Mother Just a line to answer to your letter of the 2nd Feb. Sorry to hear about Daddy/ Just shows you what a firm they are. I did not get that parcel yet, as I put it down to being lost. What date did you send it on. I get the paper regular. I go to Leintsin on 12th March to play football in the final of the North China Cup. As we are the Champions of Peking. We get a nice gold medal if we win so it is worth going for. And we go back to Hong Kong again in May. I am in the best of health, but that promotion is a long time coming out. Remember me to. Daddy and all | |||||||||
