4& sail from Marseilles on Aug 16th ss. "Goth" so please address all letters &c to Jinja P. O. Uganda. I wonder if you would let me know what prospects there are in your part of the world for a young man like me--a Rubber Planter & all round business man--servants & secretarial combined besides outside work. Uganda is not much of a place to take a wife to & although I am not married yet I should like to. I don't want to be another mans servant always but would to strike out on my own.Kindest regardsYours sincerelyH. H. Allson[1]93 Queen RdLiverpool E25th July 1912Dear Mr. Muir,I was indeed very pleased to receive your letter although I have not written previously I had not forgotten you.My voyage home via Cape Town was very delightful & I arrived in London at the end of March.

I went over, to recuperate in Ireland & am now in Wales although the letter bears my Liverpool address.I have only just developed & printed those photographs I took & am sorry they are not as good as they might have been still I think they give3a good idea of the tree & I enclose four prints. Let me know if you want the negatives & I will post them to you.Thanks you very much for the Book "Stickeen" safely to hand.
