Esteemed Sir,

You see by this, I am still held a prisoner, this seems to be a kind of mild Bastille, [2 words illeg.] and weak tyranny, strut triumphant; in my case it seems to be if you consider that your leg ailment & advanced age entitles you to be relieved from Bakehouse work (I've had nine years of it) you must go to bed and stay there; if it was not vexing, it would be amusing. Trust you are keeping well. I thank God I am as well as I wish to be.

With kindest respects, Sir, | Believe to be yours very truly | Thos. Lake [signature]

P.S. Should feel grateful if some friend would send spiritualist papers —

Postage stamp in upper right corner franked: "EAST DULWICH 3.15PM NO 10 09".
