Dear Dad
Its such a long time since I wrote to you, but you know that I am O.K. by my letters to Yvonne & Mum.  Sometimes when chances were not ripe
I have even failed these two, but have made up for it.

Sent Yvonne & Mother a present each, but I doubt as to whether it will arrive in time for Christmas, I hope so anyhow.

No letter from you this mail so far or Mum either, but had a long one from Gin.  What in the world has happened to Rupe? He has never written for ages, and Joss is going to play --- with him for not writing to her.

Both Aunt Annie & Florrie write to me & Aunt Florrie (one of them) sent me a Tuck Box
