Transcription of Letter
May 3rd.
Dearest Lynette (and John),
see I remembered at last![1] Thank you
for your letter I received today, I'm so glad you have some
outside interests & can get a break. I haven't forgotten what it's like to be on your own with a little one, (had
2 babies under 2) during
the war, but I did have Bob at weekends, but it wasn't until they started school, I could get away. I'm so
thrilled to know you are coming
soon, I'm counting the days now. I wonder what Eleanor will think of this strange old lady. I feel sad I've no home or
garden for her I
imagine her in my old garden running about. You are a wonderful gardener, you must have "green fingers". I
too love Spring, we've had
some lovely summery days, quite hot in fact. We now have a small conservatory, where I spend most of my time. She
will be bewildered by all the
travelling & changes but with her sunny nature I'm sure she'll cope. My pen is running out I shall ask John
to bring me one or
two I have others but they're the sort that need refills Take care, loads of love, see you soon
Mum.
