[_A letter from Allan Russell, Advertising Manager of the Ginger Cubes

Corporation, to Nicholas Ribstone._]

Hippocrates Hospital, April 14.

DEAR BOSS, I’m still a bit seedy but am getting better every minute

thanks to the care these “good people” have taken of me. This is my

first letter and it will have to be short. Just wanted to say that if

you still need an assistant in the office I’d like to recommend Miss

Cumnor, one of the nurses here, who has been taking care of me. She is

tired of the nursing job and wants to get into a “business position.”

Certainly she’s a mighty capable girl and her medical knowledge would

be of great value to us in marketing the Cubes. She is 23 years old and

ambitious.

I’ll be out of here pretty soon now, I hope, and am keen to get into

the thick of the fight for the good old Cubes.

Yours always

RUSSELL.
