Dear Jack -
I'm sorry for your trouble. You are in the position of the man on the train without a ticket, with the child in his arms and his wife in the baggage coach ahead. I sincerely hope that soon you will feel as fine as a frog hair split down the middle and sand papered on both sides.
After my devoted service to the Express Co is that my reward? When I can I'll take this up with [[Cullinbaum?]]. I was rather bemused when I made up the package but it seemed as secure as some I handled myself. Perhaps the driver was hung over and found it too heavy to lift.
If Frank comes back and there are boxes around his ingenious mind & hand might find a way. Otherwise I'll come up and repack.
This weekend I'm involved but the following one might get it. Dr. A ain't sayin' a word, just sittin' there talkin' it all in. When your wounds heal Blake would like to hear from you.
Best to Gladys + your pooch.
yrs.
B.
