               My Dear Graham

                        I'm enclosing what is really my idea of a 
                        biography of DM Billson. I haven't re-read 
                        it as it would take longer to read than it 
                        has taken to write which is over a week.
                        I hope you will be able to work something 
                        out of it.

                        I hope they haven't toned down the feed too 
                        for it doesn't rain grass. I don't like the 
                        general state of the country nor believe half 
                        of what we are told. I still maintain we 
                        should have been out even if we had come back 
                        later, this was always my policy. But of 
                        course I had to keep moving.

                        Your sales will just about be starting and I 
                        wish you all good hunting and well over the 
                        past. Well Michael is going to the post. 

                        Regards to all and special love to Lesley.


                                                  Yours Dad
