Flat Wanted

I am writing to make rather an odd request. I do not know whether or not you even print in "Salient" any personal or private advertisements. In the past year we had not received any until a recent issue and that has prompted me to write to you.

I presume that at V.U.C. there are quite a number of students, who are flatting. A friend of mine—a B.E. ([unclear: cre] actually—is being transferred to Wellington towards, the end of the year. He was wondering whether any Varsity students who possess flats would be wanting someone to occupy theirs from say mid-November till the end of February.

He would prefer a 2-3 room flat, as central as possible and at not too exorbitant a price.

I was wondering whether you could find a spare half-inch to put in a small note to this effect.

Any replies could be sent to my home address, 57 Box Hill, Khan-dallah, or could perhaps be left at "Salient" office for me to pick up in the August vac.

Trusting you will excuse my asking this favour and thanking you in anticiaption.
