"Dear Mrs Moore Let me first apologise for answering your letter so tradily. In truth I only got it today because, in my casual way, I sent my address to my woman only a day or so ago. As I remember it Mother used to tell the "Same qui jile" story like this..."

"Dear Mrs Moore, Thank you for your two cards. I am very sorry to hear of your indisposition and hope that you are making good progress and will make a quick recovery. I cannot return the proof yet, as I have not been able to see my sisters..."
