“Feb 12 1912
My Dear Mum, I did not find time to write a letter this week so I am just writing a few lines on this. We had a big wash today we were up at five and finished at 12 all but washing out the wash house. We were just coming home from Mrs Yonge’s (?) Saturday and it poured raining all of us girls went out. Ida is still here. yesterday we were down at the park and it came on again but it is lovely today for washing. Miss Hall was down on Friday I like the Brilliant very much. I have not started it yet. I have changed my mind about piping it I am going to get some lace like Laura’s and make a quaker collar. I am going to music every Wednesday morning at 11. I have two more pages to fill of Whitehead’s coupons what will I get when it is full. We are going to try to go to the pictures on Wednesday night for Laura’s Birthday. This is all i can get on this will write a letter next week with love from Beat”DigitisedYesStatusFoundMaterial Descriptioncopy of black & white photosIdentifier2004.9124
