P.O. Box 9010 Nairobi. 27/765 Darling Mom and Dad, Just a quick not to give you the latest on Andy , who is much better. His leg is still not in plaster, as the wound at the back of his heel (1) has not healed completely, and naturally, a plaster can't go on a half healed wound. He has a half cast, to keep his leg rigid, but it is kept on with crepe bandages and cotton wool. He is very chirpy, and full of energy, even crawls on his hands and knees all over the bed when I am not watching. As I said in my last letter, the bone did not have to be set, as it was in position, it is really more of a crack than a break, I think. Tomorrow I am going to the hospital again, and we will see if it is possible to put the plaster on yet! I haven't been at school all this week and won't be back till Thursday. We have altered our plans a little. To and Chris and Phil are going down by car [to Mombassa ] on Saturday, as planned, but I will follow on Monday or Tuesday night, with Andy, by
