This post is out of date order. I forgot to post it.
As I read this I realize the artistic ability of several members of the Chapman side of the family ~ a couple of whom made a good living at it.
Baroda. March 10th 1920 How are you this morning? Beautiful April morning it ought to be.
Oh! to be in England
Now that April's there
Oh! perhaps you'll be having some April showers preparatory to the production of May flowers. You can imagine me in April heat when this reaches you. My week's holiday is over - to my sorrow. How do you think I spent it? In sketching. A sort of mania for putting paint on to paper, however ineffectively. Runs in the family, doesn't it? We must have the artistic instinct only it never seems to have time to develop. There is here now (for me) a delightful couple - both artists. Mr. and Mrs.Gibdin and they have been out shetching and fired me up. Alas just as I was thinking I'd missed my vocation, work begins again and I've no thought for anything else. But - I hope to do more in the six weeks holiday two months ahead. Jock is very well and very mischievous. I've never been intimately acquainted with a puppy before, and I've never before realized the profound wisdom of the advice "let sleeping dogs lie". The peaceful moments of my existence are those when Jock is asleep!
Good bye darling. Very much love to all.
from May
I guess most of the family have enjoyed the company of "dogs" as well.
Dad, et. al.
