Have often\nseen his books reviewed/advertised.\n\nB and B paid me up to date the other day,\nthe cheque having been sent before the arrival\nof my demand. Next time I shall threaten to\ninvite Walter G with his gun to visit Artillery\nMansions. And you can call on Col. (?) Stanford.\nIf they fail,there1 s always Captain xxx Fox.\n\nFreddy,as you surmise,will probably beat\nme to the matrimonial bedpost. He\u2019s a great\nbeliever in marriage - or was. Sooner him than\nme.\n\nAgree with yr remarks on the new Govt and\nP.M. What an inflationary price we shall pay\nfor the settlement with the miners.

In his\nfirst speech in Belfast Rees made a crack at\nIan--a joke accusing him of Popery,no less!\nThis Parliament,with all the strange bods there,\nought to be entertaining if nothing else.\n\nMrs. Wechsler tells me her son,who runs a\nBond St. Gallery,made \u00a360,000 last year - xxxxxxxxxx\n","Type":"Text"}}]
