Question

I removed the roll-top completely and pulled out the drawers. The veneer had lifted almost everywhere — it



looked like water damage to me. Both fire and water had clearly taken their toll on this  desk. The last drawer was stuck fast. I tried all I could to ease it out gently. In the end I  used brute force. I struck it sharply with the side of my fist and the drawer flew open to  reveal a shallow space underneath, a secret drawer. There was something in there. I  reached in and took out a small black tin box. Sello-taped to the top of it was a piece of lined notepaper,



and written on it in shaky handwriting:  “Jim’s last letter,  received January  25, 1915. To be  buried with me  when the time comes.”

I knew as I  did it that it was wrong of me to open  the box, but  curiosity got the  better of my  scruples. It usually  does.

answer the following questions
1-why did the author feel it was a wrong to open the box
2-what came out of the drawer?
3-what was written on it? who wrote it?
4-why is I here? what was he doing?​
