My Dear Mona

Your ever welcome letter received alright. But I am sure you will have thought me very wicked for not writing sooner but you know I am getting very bad at letter writing.

I hope you are keeping quite well and also all the rest of the family. I cannot say I am too well I have had a bad attack of this sickness and the cramp is still very bad and I don’t get better of this stiffness but must not complain as there is plenty worse than me. All the rest of the family are quite well so that is a lot to be thankful for.

May is busy cleaning down but I cannot do much in that line.

Easter is very soon this year, it is a very wet day here today but rain is badly needed. Auntie Jennings keeping very well and Aunt Emma again back to her job but her foot is far from being better yet she has a very bad foot. You may have heard that Aunt Maggie is in a home at York for this nervous complaint. It is a pity she has had to go but we hope it will all be for the best. But I dare say Auntie Jennings has given Annie all the details.

She said she was writing

I hope Annie and all at Greystones are all quite well but this changeable weather will have a great deal to do with the pains and stiffness. Well Dear Mona your letter did not surprise me much about you getting married you are both a good age and you are not rushing with getting married as some are. I wish you both the best of luck and happiness. I shall feel more content when I know you are in a home of your own. Give my love to Billy and God bless you both.

I was sorry to hear that ? was not too well and I hope she is better and all at Mrs Mathews.

We got a surprise last weekend when Kate pop in then on Sunday our Emma and family came all the girls are getting up. Elsie is a very fine looking girl and she had got a long frock on but it made her look far too old as she is only 15. I am pleased Margaret likes her work I owe her a letter they were all quite well when we heard from Cumbria Auntie Jennings sends her love to all don’t be long before you write and forgive me for being so long

All send their love to you
I will close with my fondest love and best wishes ever your loving mother xxxxxxxxxxxx
