Sunday. 12.6.94
Dearest Lynette Rose,
I hope you have recovered now from your very hectic week It was great to see you & John &
my beautiful & charming granddaughter, though I know it was very tiring for you all. It went by so quickly we never
seemed to have time to have a
good chat, but I just can't believe you have been & gone again Everyone thought little Nellie quite lovely, I
see her dear little face
before me & her cute little ways will be with me for ever. Thank you dear for coming, I realize what a gruelling
journey it was for you all, now
John has to be away again so soon,[1] it hardly gives him time
to recover from his "bug" I
was very sad after you went home, but back to routine again now, with some lovely memories. Noel rang to see if you
had arrived home safely &
they too were delighted to see you & were charmed with the "little one," & with you. Judith & I
talked about you both all the
time when she came on Thursday. You are in my thoughts every moment, I live every day over & over. I feel very sad
that I am of no practical use
to you, I can only give you my love & every good wish for your happiness. Give her a cuddle &
kiss for me dear,
Your very loving
(2nd) Mother
X X X. I hope you
get this while John is away
& then you'll know I'm thinking of you.
