My darling Rose & John
The latest pictures are really beautiful she gets lovelier, Rosie dear, she is a great
credit to you. The picture of you both in the garden is so lovely. not forgetting
Boris, all have been shown round & duly admired, all say
"What a beautiful baby," & "isn't your daughter-in-law pretty". I am very proud of you &
love you
dearly.
It is a lovely day today & when I have finished this I shall be outside. I don't have much news darlings life
goes on much the same,
the days run into weeks & the weeks into months so quickly. We haven't had any real summer yet, just an odd bit now
& then, then the dark
clouds appear, plenty of wind & rain Rose, I wonder about your mother & how she is I wish I could
communicate with her but
when you write to her, do give her & your Dad my regards & tell her I'm thinking of her. She must be very proud
of you too Rose.
Auntie Mu is 76
on July 3rd so I
have made her one of my special cards John if the job[1] is open
to you & to your
advantage go for it. Talk it over with Rosie
& if it suits you both
you've nothing to lose. I say little prayers for you all the time, as you say John, its as well to keep in with
him upstairs!! I pray to him
every night to keep you all
safe & well My family is all I've got to live for. Jude is looking forward to seeing you all I
understand they will be going to
Washington & Georgia & various other places so they'll be doing a lot of travelling. Let me know how you get
on John. Once again, loads of
love, cuddles and kisses to the little Princess & to you both of course. I'm glad you have good neighbors, so that
Rose has someone to turn to
if necessary. As always
Mum
