English penfriends pt. 2

Sir—Thank you so much for publishing my letter re penfriends and I received your magazine today. I was very interested to read it, and thank you so much.

Also I'm pleased to say that so far, about eight young men have written for girl penfriends and I've supplied some However, if you know of any more that fancy writing there are still a lot of young ladies wishing for a university penfriend. I heard from the social secretary of our Kenton Lodge Teachers' Training College yesterday, thanking me for those received so far, and saying they have 700 girls at Kenton and can find a home for any more letters received. I think letters from girl students would be welcome, too.

Oddly enough I've supplied most of the nurses' addresses and haven't any left at present, but these do trickie in (and others) from time to time.

Re spotlight on sports clubs Deerstalking Club article. I was highly interested, as I've heard from a professional deerstalker at Nelson Creek and his letters of how he shoots, swims up rivers, pushing the dead deer. in swollen rivers and over rapids, etc.— brings them back in a truck with two friends sits around camp fire, etc., were most colourful. Also, it appears he is educated up to university standard, but works at a sawmill half the time and deer-stalks the rest. He is half European, half Maori, and his letters of deerstalking would make a wonderful article for your magazines.
