Thursday
London
My dear Michael,
I don’t know when I will get another chance to write to you because I have just been told that I have to leave London. I’m glad to hear that you are getting your sums right – even if you do make them up for yourself! Mummy told me you fell down. Is your head better? I hope so. Auntie Dot will come to see you next weekend and will bring a little parcel for you and Wendy. This note may be inside it or I may post it first. Be a good lad until I come home.
Bye now, son, and look after Mummy and Wendy for me.
Lots of love from
Daddy X
My dear Wendy,
This will not be a very long letter as I have just been told that I have to go away from London and I have a lot to do. But I wanted to say thank you for your last letter. Auntie Dot will be coming to see you next week and I will try to send a little parcel of things for you and Michael. I don’t know when I will be home, but be a good lass until I do. You were a very clever girl to win that book. Will you keep it nice and clean to show me when I come home next?
Must go now, love, for I am in a dreadful hurry.
Lots of love from
Your Daddy X
