Letter received from Charlie Hague, in India, dated 10 January, 1945:

Many thanks for your welcome letter and my warmest thanks to the staff for the enclosure.
I am keeping in good health at the moment - thanks to the cold weather, and believe me, it does get cold - and making the best of life out here.
I appeared before a Medical Board a few weeks ago and was down-graded to B1 (permanent), and I am now awaiting treatment recommended by the specialist.
I had my first experience of flying yesterday, and I am pleased that I took the opportunity of going up. It's quite an experience - but not a job I would care for. Give me terra firma every time. I am pleased to see my old friends of the Reading Room are contributing regularly to the News Letter. Keep it up, fellows.
So cheerio and the very best of luck and health to all at the office and my absent friends wherever they may be.

Pr-BR
