“Dear Rarlow & Jess,
I received your Xmas card and paper and letter and was sorry your family was sick.
We are all well at home and John had a good crushing £9-00 a week.
We had a quiet Xmas; the old man came out. Alan is still working in Sellheim. Fred has not started work yet, he expects to start with Alan soon.
Hatie Morgan is down and she is going to get married to Captain Robertson shortly. Write and tell us the baby name and hurry up and send us them photo along.
Jennie and Suzy and Alex and all the family well.
I wish you a happy new year.
From your loving mother,
Rebecca ?DigitisedYesMaterial DescriptionCopy of framed photoIdentifier2019306.6917
