A Letter to Mo (or Maureen) - Part 3
(In parts, my light-hearted story published in The Illustrated Weekly of India on September 7, 1969)
(Dear Mo,)
Let me ask you whats the use of being ejucated if you cant understand that here Im fitter making more money than any silly (eccept you) clerk. And in this finest formerly English company of Bombay, where Im sure Pathan wont let new bofreind in through the door even. I strongly hope he is not Andrade. Because if he is Im waiting to catch him and give him one on the nose not perticulally because of taking you away but from 10 Nov 1968 he is owing me Rs 30 borrowed at Mahalaxmi races. Could be Jos? Then he must not have told his job is temprary.
And just by the way if you and new boyfriend want to go for evening walk hope you know the way. Go strate on Churchgate street not stopping ofcorse when you reach M Drive and soon you both will be right in where you belong. In the blue Arabien sea with the other fishes.
Since in any way it is all over dear Maureen I want to wish you all best in the world and that we had good times together which I hope you will at sometimes remembre, as I will and extra specialy that night on Malbar hill when I sang Dark Moon and as you said exackly like Tony Brent.
