My Dear Sis,
I received your parcel today for which I am very thankful. Of course I had not given up hope of receiving it but we always consider ourselves very lucky if we do get them. Had I got it yesterday I would have saved a shilling as I only bought this pad yesterday. My word I did enjoy a good old smoke (and so did my boss) it made me think of Auburn again & of some of the happy hours you, Vol, Lol & I spent together. Everything was OK except the figs & they were a "dud". The weevils got into them. Only one cigar was broken & yet the tin of cocoa came the proverbial "guttsa" i.e. was dented in a bit, & a bit mixed up with the other goods, but anyway Sis I am real pleased & thankful at receiving them. The nuts were just lovely. Did Noni put them in? I suppose she will be running down to meet her uncle when he returns. I do wish I was there
