My dear Ni,
Hello There, kid, remember me. Frankly I would be in no way surprised if you didn't but to refresh your memory I'm the guy who doesn't sign his letters. Sorry about that but as a matter of fact its an old habit of mine, I've had complaints about it before, however the unmistakeable spelling & grammar or lack of it should be trademark enough.
You keep bawling about me not answering your questions so I'll see what I can remember up
Incidentally 'Speer' is an old Scots word meaning to ask questions. You asked about Clarkie. Well I met the long one in Swansea just a few weeks ago & he was terrific as usual. He's packing the sea up early next year & taking over a yacht booking business on the Riviera. He was suggesting it might be a good idea if I came in with him, it might at that, but I guess I'm a deep sea man for good. Another item of news that may interest you is that Mrs. Thomas Madison Pallas became a proud mother just a few weeks ago. I dont know the sex of the creature because I forgot to ask.
As for me things are pretty much the same, except that i have been kicking around with a young woman for a while. She's a friend of my sisters, one Miss Ina Briton & a good kid but I dont see much of her, for I'm busy as hell at the Tech just now. The three of us were at the ballet when it was here a fortnight ago & never having seen 'Swan Lake" before they were enchanted. But, what the hell, I've seen it umpteen times & I was enchanted too.
My examinations are on Nov. 20th & 21st & just one week after that I will have another birthday coming off. Twenty-four, ye gods, I feel positively decrepit. On this sad note I'll say goodbye again, my Ni.
Good Luck kid
Gil
