Dear Major Williams
Am extremely sorry to have to write in this fa
shion. Saw Poole and Hancock* as they passed
through, at least they came to see me and bot
h looked OK. Re the accident, can’t remember
anything as to what took place and am more t
han sorry about poor old Jack Potts. Heard a couple
of days ago about some kit being dropped, but up to
the present none has arrived. Hope its some
for me. Am getting treated very well.
Kind regards to all
Yours faithfully
V J Parkinson
