Some of Jack Newmans draft has arrived here as a lot of them has been hit but I haven't seen Jack so far. I don't think he is over here yet and he don't want to be in a hurry to get here either by what I can see of things. Remember me to all and give my love to Grams from your loving Nephew Jack - excuse writing."
