Frank to Mrs. Herbert

My dear Grandmother I am very sorry not to have written for such a long time. I didnt know it was such a long time till you wrote. Arthur is doing well with his lessons. He wont play football. Im in the 16. Thank you for the half sovereign. Its awfully kind of you to ask Jones for Christmas. Suso has had puppies they are going to keep one for me a black one I wanted it to be called nigger but papa wont because he says its vulgar or something.
