FULLER BULL WEEKLY LETTER
Sir Thomas Upton,
Hyde Park, London. England.

Hyde Park, London, England.
Dear Old Tommy:
| wrote to Hogan and wlsed him
to the gospel that was wlshin. the
pleasure of your Co. here last SUM-,
when the -Waveland Y. c., pull
ed off their sailin' stunt. OF course,
dear old thing, / knowed that you
had a date with George 4 times or
some bloomin' toff in the dear old
primrose land and couldn't be with
me Il Co., for the regatta, as much
as you wanted to, so had to simply
hope youde migrate next time and
witness the star-day of your old
sport-life. I want to go on record,
Tommy, old dear, and state most
emphat that it was a chawmin' hoe
caslon, a bloody good breeze what
blowed S. E. by S. at about umpty
knots per, a lowerin' sky what play
ed parasol for the great multi OF
sports and ex-sports, near sports and
sportesses what congregated where
congregating was good on the pier
to witness the execution of time and
distance.
Some nifty cruisers were ridin' at
anchor in the fairwoy with a goodly
load of bloomin' fawncy and jolly
good lookin' mermaids what either
gazed over the taffrail or frolicked
about in the briny--and Tommy, old
thing, you'de a forgot everything
Shamrock We ever stood godfather
for if you'de set your gray globes
on what was occupyin' them Annette
Kellerman's, boy, you talk of lines,
why some of them she vessels of joy
had lines what even old Mike Angelo
couldn't copy-of course there were
a few what looked bloody square
rigged-too much beam and drawed
too much water, doncher know-but
we jolly tars, what's used to submar-
ines, simply passed 'em up for lot
of conveys or transports and kept
our search-lights playin' on the su-
premes, what!
Well, Lip, lets leave the angels.
Them schooners, sloops, cats and
etceteras, what took part in the re-
gatta, was a jolly lot, I'll name it!
They 1st had race over from the
Cres. City and which is some so odd
away or more, which was won by a
nifty cruise what made the dis. in
hours. The regular regatta had
cupla fast hydros what plucked the
atmosphere at about 40 per hr then
they had a cupla Macaroni rugged
sloops what could simply eat up in
the wind about 10 pts. higher then
what we're used to viewin'-which
leads me to remark, old top, that
you'de ought to rig the Shamrock
41st up as Macaroni sloop if you'de
want to cop the 'Merica's cup next
time.
OH Cl;1o x,ros +bora To,,n,y
but her old 2 cyl. couldn't live up
to the Mod. boats what they's got
now-just like every flock, they
had to have a sinner in the lot.
But listen, Lip, if Commodore
Volstead had allowed the entry, OF
that famous schooner "Brown-bot-
tle'' why the whole business would
a been in the "also" class.
We're going to have a mother big
day next year, Tom, and l want you
what?
Give my best love to George 4
times and a coupla Duckesses and
and give Erin whats her own by
right for if he don't and De Valera
so, We'll load up, sail away from
HCIc anu ludhc II oO uOC 1O1 LIE 1SO'
& Co., that he'll be glad to leave the
Micks alone.
Anyhow, Tommy, old thing, we
know you're strong on the Sham
rocks and here's hopin'.
Well, down goes me jib.
Yours, old salty,
FULLER BULL.
P. S. Say Tommy, Charlie Breath
is goin' to send you a challenge, SO,
watch harvey. F. B.
