alright, I never even felt it leave the gum. It had two broken roots too. The way the dentist stopped mine was this. Put the "brrr-rr" on for about 20 seconds & then took a piece of amalgam & bumped it in the hole he had made. After smoothing it off for about 5 seconds he passed me out, and the next day – I passed the stopping out, in fact it fell out. Well that is how long he took to do it – just about as long a you take to read it. You can see that's no good. Even if the stopping did stay in, you would probably have a sore mouth in a few months. Golly!! It's a terrible War, isn't it?!
Have only had the one parcel from you, & one form Dorothy – and its almost impossible to get English or Virginian cigarettes here now. Have sold out, and we can only buy the "stinkerino" Gyppo fags – they're up to putty.
Well, Mother dear, I'll say
Good morning (sounds funny doesn't it?) but its long past midnight now, but I don't get much chance during the day to write. Too many interruptions. Don't worry about me, I'm keeping fine, as usual. Heaps of L. to you all – Alan.
