Dear Wendy,
Thank you for your nice letter and for all the things you asked Mummy to tell me. Mummy is good to read so many books to you. When I come home I will read to you sometimes. Is the book about Jane and John and Margaret a nice one? Was Tiger waiting at the door for you when you got home from Grandma’s? I have just written a letter to Grandma to thank her for letting Michael and Mummy and you stay there. You were asking about my white hat. No, Wendy, it is not a Sunday hat. It is to wear in the summer or if my boat sails a long way and we go into bright sunshine. I have two white suits as well. I will come home as soon as I can, perhaps in another month but I do not think I will have a big bag with me, so I will not be able to show you my funny bed. Bye bye, Wendy. I will see you in about four weeks. Write to me soon.
Lots of love from
Daddy
Dear Michael,
I have written to Wendy so here is a letter for you, too. Thank you for your letter which Mummy sent to me and which came to me on Saturday afternoon while I was in bed because I had a cold. It has been snowing a lot here. Wasn’t Uncle Harold good to give you that big gun? Has Mummy told you that you must play with it in the house until you are bigger and can play properly with it? So you dreamt about my little house, did you? It will be a nice little house in the summer, but in the winter it is cold and as all the windows are painted black we have to put the light on in the daytime. I am glad you have seen Donald Duck and all the other funny animals and the train with the funny face. Did they make you laugh? I wish I could have been with you and also when you went to the big park, which I have not been to very often. So the fire went out? That was because it was such a long time while you were at Grandma’s. I’ll see your gun when I come home, perhaps in four weeks. Will you write me soon? Bye for now.
Love from
Daddy
