Dear Daddy,
Mummy fell over my fort and broke it. We play out after tea. I help Mummy in the garden and we are going to plant some flowers tomorrow if it is a nice day. I hear nice stories on the schools on the wireless. We went to the canal and saw some boats and a man said he was going to open the bridge. We saw three barges and the last one was a motor barge. Auntie Chris gave me a sentry box for my fort. When we were at Grandma’s we went to the park and saw a lot of birds and the parrot said “Hello Polly” and the other one said “Cockatoo”. We went to the pictures last week and we saw aeroplanes and men going in them and they jumped out in parachutes. Another time we saw Kew Gardens on the pictures and Mummy said you had been there. The wheel is all right on my barrow and I carry shopping in it and lime from the nursery. The lady in South Road gave me two puddings yesterday and I ate them both. I can sing ‘Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition’. A man said to the South Road monkey “Come on Joey” and the monkey jumped down and sat on his shoulder and he said “Give me a kiss” and the monkey got back on the wall. The other day the knob in the kitchen turned right round and Mummy thought it was Wendy and opened the door and it was Tiger! I liked your letter about all the animals at the zoo.
Love from
