Nixon is expected to recover. Our Forces are getting on well. I am quite tired of writing I have so much of it - so excuse this short letter. My children and Thompsons are well. I have now £17,00 of Thomsons, £1,600 on Mortgages, and £100 in bonds - all Balances recd. from Ridgway except the Books at Murrays. Yours H. Balneavis.
