England, [Nov crossed out] Dec.

Sometimes I have to act as an interpreter between a couple of my buddies and the English. My friends use that Brooklyn slang and the Englishmen don't know what they are talking about. The other day we got a ride in an Englishman's Austin and my buddy asked the guy how much the car set him back instead of asking the price of the car. I had to tell him what he meant.

Since I started this letter I just got your Christmas card and a letter dated Nov. the thirteenth. Thanks a lot.

I will write again soon keep it up.

Your brother George
