P.S. This is "Wings for Victory" week in Codsall, so we're putting some war saving certificates for you. Wed. 7th of April. My Dearest Boys - First of all a confession! I didn't write a letter to you last week. - I think that is unforgiveable as so many seem to be lost… + although I'll explain what happened, it really is no excuse! Granma Jones was here because Granpa was at Llandudno - - + I wasn't feeling well - - I was very sick + very tired but I didn't want Granma to know or she'd have gone home - - Then on the Wed. Joan + Frank Wiseman + Frank Ward all arrived unexpectedly so it was a late night - - + on Thursday Mr. + Mrs. [Barton?] were here - - a very late night!! --- ON Friday I dragged myself around but had to give in + go to bed with a high temperature --- --- Daddy said he'd try to write a letter but it was a difficult week-end for him
