An open letter to Ruth (from London, stopping in the Coombe Road area).

We met briefly in Woodvale on August 14, when you took the trouble to come to speak to me when I was feeling a bit grey.

You brought the sunshine back for me. I can't thank you enough and only wish we could have spoken longer.

But I tell you this, you've made a friend for life. Once again, thank you and God bless you and yours.

-R I Bowman, Cowley Drive, Woodingdean
