Summary
Saying "I am - we are - delighted to have so good an account of you. I wish I could flag off a Roland to your Oliver. But Roland has brain-fog stilled. Did I ask you to read one 'A.B.C.D.' in the current "Maga'? If I didn't, I do now. Who the mischief he is - this beats me. I really do not know. Deep down in my mind I suspect - who? Read, & tell me your thought. Also, go on getting well. I am sure you've done the best for yourself you've ever done, since you were born."
