Darling Rose and John,
Herewith the promised letter. I find it very difficult to write
just now I have a job to hold the pen so excuse mistakes I can no longer concentrate so
well Must be loosing touch
The winter seems never ending though the weather is more springlike It's quite chilly, not warm
enough to sit out. Rose, John tells
me you are having waterworks trouble. Maybe the baby is causing some pressure and will clear up once
he/she is born It is a
wearisome time for you and having a lively 2 yr old to cope with as well you won't have much time to rest.
Put your feet up when you can.
Ease up on the gardening and housework Your health is more important You are ever in my
thoughts Rose dear as you all are, I
never stop worrying about you all. John, it was nice to have a word with
Wally
& very gratifying to hear the nice things he said about you, of course I am very proud
of you and always have been. There's nothing different here The same humdrum days My legs are
more spastic and I need help
now to get in the garden. How I hate old age and its problems Why can't we be re-vitalised!! and be
a bit of use to ones nearest
and dearest. At least you have the summer to look forward to I hope this baby will be as amiable as
the Princess. I'd love to see
her in her little bed You are very wise to get her use to it now so she won't blame the baby for any
changes in her life I
think she'll take it all in her stride. Mu rang
yesterday and said to give you all
her love and good wishes And Rose give your father my regards when you write and your brother and
family I hope his health has
improved. Have a happy restful Easter.[1] Be sure I shall
be thinking of you all
Judy & Phil are taking me out to lunch, I think
Tess is coming too But not to the racecourse, I can no longer cope
with stairs.
Keep well and happy. Love to you all not forgeting
Boris and IT.
