Not Interested in English Girl Who Wrote Him Letters
Richard Holder of Gapland says he is not romantically involved with Violet Marguerite Burchill of South London who wrote Baltimore for missing mail. He says he will not settle down for years despite daily letters since returning from overseas last February. He met the Bunhill family in London after service with the Army Air Corps, spent weekends there, and believed the romance would fade. His mother doubts love, noting he kept replying to only some letters. A possible solution is to write a brotherly, platonic response to ease the situation.
