Transcription of Letter
November 29th
My darling children,
I thought the enclosed information very sensible & might interest
you. Need I say how lovely
it was to see John.[1] I'm only sorry Rosie wasn't with you
John, but Rosie, you know you are
in my thoughts every minute especially just now darling,
though I know the last few weeks seem to go on forever. I pray for things to go well for you Rose & I'm sure
you'll have a lovely healthy baby. I
can't write much, I had a fall yesterday & hurt my right arm & hand. My arthritic thumb very swollen &
bruised, I seem to loose my balance
very easily, it makes me nervous to move far without escort. Loads of love to you three. Take care
& Good luck
As always
X X X Your devoted Mum
X X X X X X X

Notes
- My British passport for this period shows me re-entering the U.S.A. on November 23, a Monday. Presumably I'd been sent to London on business the previous week, and gone up to Northampton to see Mum at the weekend.
