Scope and Content Written from Beaudesert Park, Henley-in-Arden. Seems to be unfinished. News about a cricket match (in which John had hurt his hand), that Mrs Pilkington had visited and he had received a letter from Mr Egerton [whose school John had previously attended]. Asking Lilian if she had got him another book by [Henry] Rider Haggard, whether she had seen any [German aircraft] the previous day, how the birds were and where she had decided to go (possibly to Stratford). John also mentions that it is only 3 weeks [until the summer holidays].
