Dear Mary.
Is the Flue all right again because if it is I’ve got another job for you. I want these books Geometry Books I II III & VI a Simple Trig. Loney’s mechanics & a simple Algebra most of these were once in the house but perhaps they are lost. I have been told to teach mathematics for which I have been provided with a mouldy arithmetic book
I dont mind trying to explain how two is multiplied by three but I’m afraid some of the sappers wont consider that mathematics any more than I do
