March 5th 79
My dear Son,
Enclosed your latest post. Hope you received the last lot I sent. The sun is shining at last, though
winds very cold still. I'm longing to be able to start tidying up the garden, though it looks as though a lot of my
plants are dead.
The weeks are flying by son, we miss you very much, but hope you are enjoying yourself & your
writing coming up to your expectations I know what a perfectionist you are! There was a Northampton fellow on
T.V. last night & apparently
he runs some sort of club for budding authors & helping to get books published.
Life is very dull here, there's no news of any interest love, the shower is fine, no trouble at
all.
Next Friday, Judy Tess & I are going to see "Snow Queen" Ballet, my birthday treat from
Judy, then she Phil are going away to the Malvern hills for the week-end.
Mrs M is
having the babe & Tess will stay here.
Dad is doing the "Pools", ever
hopeful! All send their love, dear, take care.
All my love
Mother
I'm using your paper
I wrote to Mary, but couldn't find her address so I sent it via Kathy, I
got her address offf an
envelope in your file, I hope you don't mind.
