Darlings,
A quick note as I want Mrs Ives to post this
this afternoon.
It isn't much but perhaps will buy Princess a dress or something. It breaks my heart I
can't knot & sew for her.
If there's anything left Rose, buy yourself something. I don't know the price of baby clothes there I wish it
was much much more, but I'm
expecting Peggy to raise the fee any minute. I'm in the dog house at
present & I'm
very unhappy.
Love you all dearly,
Hugs & kisses

It's a lovely day, quite summery.
Remember this
card[1] John, it still makes me chuckle.
X X X
X X X Princess.

Notes
- I spent the month of February 1963 — closing out one of the coldest winters on record — at the Outward Bound Sea School in Aberdovey, North Wales. We rode, hiked, climbed, sailed. I have never been as fit since.
