Dear Mr Babb,
I bet you thought you'd heard the last of me way back in June. My step-father read the book and his verdict was, very, very good. As I think I mentioned he was involved as a member of the repair party, fitting out and repairing ships for STUFT, Ships Taken up From Trade. He was due to travel to Argentina to carry out some of the work but the war ended.
