Dear Dot, Well my old jerry juggler (sic) of Cairnsmore fame how are things popping, so sorry I haven’t answered your letter sooner but I have been as busy as a one armed paper hanger with fleas. (say me). Whats the big idea tearing around to all these dances and I can’t even get to one, you make me awfully envious, but we can’t be worried over such small trifles. I am getting a couple of teeth out in the morning wouldn’t that rock you I’ll soon have none left, the boys are away to the pictures tonight and I am busy getting on with the writing I have one more letter to write after this one so I have a busy night
