My dear Tommy,
Just a line or two in answer to your letter this morning and Birthday present and card. Thanks awfully for both. I am feeling better in myself but my legs are about the same. Poor Ma, what a pickle to be in.
We are getting lovely weather, glorious. Summer time of course it seems a long time since you came home when you came and all I feel as if I haven’t talked to you enough and then the time do come again to go. Funny isn’t it?
Cora has been down a good while today brought down a nice glass of cream from mother for my birthday. Yesterday she brought home some tongue for her present (my strong weakness). Beatrice brought a bunch of lilies of the valley for me lively too they are. So I have done very well.
The Choral is on tonight too hope they will do well. Isn’t it sad on Martha Pearce husband poor soul; too don’t take long for sorrow to overtake one. Martha used to be so carefree when in Office didn’t she? It’s a good thing we can’t tell what will befall us.
Dr Bannister was here this week he is still longing to have a dig at me. I don’t know it is hard to know what to be at. I am decidedly better than when he saw me last he said but there is much improvement wanted. I must still think over it.
I forgot to say Auntie brought up a rich little spring chicken lovely so I am in for luxuries indeed.
I have wrote about enough now I am feeling tired, boisterous to begin with.
Goodbye for the time
Yours lovingly
Mother xXxX
i am sorry to hear Mrs Cory is so unwell. I hope she will be better again soon.
