My dear Son,
we are terribly anxious as we've had no news from you for 8 weeks I can't wait for each day to come hoping for a letter. I know
you are busy but surely you
could spare 10 minutes if its only to let us know you are alright. If you are ill surely someone could let us know.
What with Judy's troubles
& not knowing if you are alive & well I'm going frantic. I've tried ringing you & am told owing to damage
no calls can be made yet. I
shall try again at week-end.
Everything here is so depressing Weather cold, grey & wet day after day. Prices
spiralling to ridiculous heights. I wonder we don't all end up in the "looney bin" Please, please put
us out of our misery &
write or ring.
This letter is short as I am going over to the Post Office now, after another wait. Apart from
colds & all these worries we are O.K.
As always
X X X Love Mother
