My Dear Old Mike

How are you? A bloody fine correspondent, for a journalist, I must say. As you see, I have not gone to the East. All those plans have gone by the board. I waited some years before really pressing the bank for an overseas appointment. At first they held out high hopes of me going. But I believe there was a hell of a lot of wangling by chaps at head office. As you know, they are not a big bank, and there are not an awful lot of replacements needed abroad.

Anyway, in the end I said that if they would not send me out soon I’d leave. They said if that was the way I felt I had better go right away. So I went. Luckily, Herbert Day—you remember him from that boozy party—had just started a small business of his own. I hadn’t any money saved up, but he agreed to take me as a partner.

Jolly decent of him, I think, as otherwise I’d have been in a bit of a spot. I get quite a decent screw really, considering we’ve only just started. I have to travel about a good deal and am probably coming up your way soon, so don’t be surprised if I pop in on you. Let me know your news, you lazy skunk.

Cheerio,

John.
