Dear Mr. Drury
Many thanks for your kind letter of enclosed newspaper article. Your courtesy speaks highly of your press.
I note your remarks of George”s promotion and your wishes for his success in his career are much appreciated by myself & family.
The boy himself has been football mad since he could toddle and if keeness means anything he has that, and we hope he peforms with credit as well as distinction on the playing field.
Once again many thanks + best wishes to you in your own field, and may success attend you.
Yours truly,
R. Best
