Caption on photograph
Shanghai 24/8/10 Dear Will / Thought you would like this. Photographer evidently caught me napping. Not to be taken as my usual expression. Local conditions not compatible. More usually a fierce resentful scowl I am afraid. Have written you recently trust you have received ere this. Really think must be better than I feel after looking at this. / Kind regards Charlie
