They put me in a cell for a night for travelling on the U-bahn with a bent ticket & had to argue my way out. Narrowly escaped being beaten up a few days later for talking English in the wrong place. Have been going to the Krankenhaus for treatment for some rash I caught.

Many thanks for letter from Mary Danby. I'm toying with the idea of sending her my 'waxwork' horror story, rejected by H. van Thal. It's certainly horrific. Expect 'Pan' will say the same as 'Fontana', but always worth trying. Beautiful, huge green dragonfly in garden yesterday.

Dear sir, The answer in Yesterday's Sunday Times to Brain Teaser 1111 was given as 8486. My answer which I sent to you by postcard was 6212 which I believe also to be correct since 6212 → 6 x 2 = 12 2126 → 2 x 6 = 12 I would be grateful for your confirmation.
