Sowerbutt's Letter

"To tell you the truth, Mr Sorbay, I wasn't sure what to do with it," Dipper, a long sausage of a man, said. "It was only over our boiled eggs this morning that the missus remembered that work we did for you the other week was for a government bloke, you said."
Sitting in the front room of the anonymous Stoke Newington house, Sowerbutt looked at the typewritten letter. The flimsy paper had been folded but the signature was unmistakable, a bold Rudolf and Hess trailing off the sheet as though the writer was losing concentration.
"When I saw it was in German, I got Panda to have a squint. Remember he did those German courses with Spaghetti a while ago?
"Panda said it talked about the Old World oppressing the colonial peoples and exploiting their trade. The New World should take them over and make them democracies. They are trying to pinch our Empire, Mr Sorbay."
