My dearest, No letter tonight. It is said that there will be still more delay and no letters for a bit I hope this will not be true. And I hope you are getting mine & are not anxious. Anyway in consultation with others in Killiney you will find that there are no letters arriving. This evening I am full of requests. I want urgently 1 box autostrop blades. 1 autostrop razor strop (rats have taken the one you sent me). And if you have a good days visit to Dublin would you like to get me a little present. What I want is a few tools for working with including (maybe) a couple of screw drivers. One very small the point being about the size of the dash “-“ and nice and slender & sharp. An opticians or electricians screw driver I think that it would be called. A file. A little stone for sharpening knives or screwdrivers an oil-stone I think would be the name. A nice little pair of pliers with good wire cutting edge. A gimlet and one or two other things you might see. I dont want a box of tools because they are inconvenient for carrying about the best thing would be a little folding bag like I used to carry
