From Wendy to Arthur: ‘we are lerning a lot of songs for Empire day’

May 151944
 

Monday
Liverpool
Dear Daddy,
When I went to Formby we saw a goat lying on the grass across a little dich. I got a picture for writing the best story in the class. We are lerning a lot of songs for Empire day. We are doing feet and inches, and shillings and pennies and half pennies sums. We have just come back from the swings. Thank you for your last letter.
Love from Wendy
