Xx I am writing this to you at Ormond Rd. hoping you will be there. Anyway I will write home as well on Saturday. You haven’t got a letter from me for a while now. I am at work now, as I got a lift all the ways this morning as the man who usually brings me is on vacation. From your letters I see that things are O.K. and I am puzzled as to how Charlie is [unreadable]. Is it serious? I asked Betty to advice Dadda not to be confiding in everybody in Lackelly. Anyway I do hope you get the place. I pray for you all so much. Mam just make up your mind that Mona will get her interval and pray hard to St. Jude. I never forgot her, and she will be O.K. Let me know how Miller goes. Patsy is starting work this evening at 5.00 P.M. and it is great for him == only it is late. It will be a night shift – but all factory or [unreadable] work,. But will be working until 12.30 at night. I suppose I will have to get used to it. He doesn’t mind [unreadable] – but worries about me. Anyway I will be find and [unreadable] will be back by next week. P.S.

Forgot to tell you it will be with the Stan newspaper. I am getting on fine at work, and some in my face is gone, and will heal again. Dont every worry about about Bear, Mam, is like that, we get on great.
