Dear Albert,
I?ve looked at the proofs again, these STILL aren?t right, my poems are still all misspelt.

Please correct them this time AND READ [...]

I think everyone in Canada would love to know about you. You don?t understand nothing. You fake. You?re just fake, a total fake. Faker. Fake [...]

Dear Albie,
Thanks for yours. I had to suffer another squad of dullards at Maniac More, a week of rain and midges between bouts of mutton stew. It pissed down so much I got mould, especially from having to smoke outside. Everyone seems to have the physical appearance of a skip up here. Thank god Duncan [...]
