say in Fred's letter re my photo's "they could easily work in the 2nd star in the negative". What on earth do you want them to do that for. They were taken whilst I was a 2nd Loot so why make me something that I wasnt. If you want to keep the negative up-to-date you would have to alter it quite a lot because I have altered muchly since it was taken. The next thing you will want will be to put a couple of stars in the negative of me as a corporal way back in the dim ages 3 years ago. Another thing - you told Fred all about the photos you wanted & gave him the address &c. Did you expect him to go & order some more. If so wouldn't that be rather rough on me if he didnt first get my sanction? As you are aware I am a bit funny regarding my photograph.
