Dear Dot, I was pleased to receive your welcome letter last night, I thought you had forgotten me, but then it’s a long time since I last wrote, so I will forgive you this time. I am glad to hear that Tiny is still O.K, I heard that he won the M.M., if its right, send him my congratulations. How is the po juggling industry getting on?, the next we will be hearing that you’ll be marrying one off the patients, what!, or are you going to be an old maid. Tell your Mum that I will write some of these days when I get time so in the meantime give the family my kindest regards, If you happen to see Bob Robertson he will tell you a bit of news, I saw him a few weeks back. Well Dot, old sport, I will have to close now, hoping to hear from you again soon Lots of love Chas xxxxxx Lenore xxxxxx
