My Dear Billy,

I [trust] this letter will find you well +

happy Dear.

We've got about 12 in of snow us this way + its still

snowing like (Busker Best) the snow of course only

began last night [while] I was in the [Pictures]. I

suppose you will remember the wicker Picture

Palace dont you.

I went to the Abbot hall about 3 weeks ago

to see [Rev.] [Hui] if ever I get over to your part

of the world dear you want to see it as its

[great] I went to the Abbot Hall 3 times to get

in and waited [two] hours at a time to see it but

it was worth it.

Our poor little [Babes] has had the measles, poor

little kid + our Betty has left school to buy

[sing] its making me look old and if [illegible]

by give I shall be nineteen soon + never been

Page 2:

washed [illegible] or mangled.

Well dear you never wrote yet to say whether

you've received the wallet yet + I'm so [worried]

you know you are [such] a [long] way from us and as

I often wonder if you are happy in that

strange land.

I went to Dawson's in [Fargate] a fortnight ago

to ask what conditions I could go to Canada

for and they gave me a book all about Canada

but really it is so expensive with the things one

has to have on the voyage + [train] journey.

Do you reconise this Photo of me no doubt I

shall have altered from when you last saw

me. I wish you could have a photograph taken.

I haven't one only when you were about eight.

of course I don't suppose you will have any

where, were you can have your photo taken have

you.

I went to see Auntie Ada at [Donnall] last

Sunday + she does look ill.

[Edwin Mason] is getting married on Easter

Monday to a girl named Gladys I don't

know her other name but I don't [recon] very

Page 3:

very much to her.

I think Auntie Ada is worrying her self over him,

they are going to live at home with Auntie Ada + Uncle Herbert.

So we'll hope that Edwin + Gladys will

be happy eh.

The [twins] at uncle Bernard's have had measles

very bad.

I suppose you will remembers Lizzie she had flu

very bad + poor kid she's gone as thin as a nail.

I think everybody is suffering from Cold or measles

in Sheffield lets hope you haven't got measles or

anything like that I suppose if you had all the

boy pals would pull you leg for you dear.

I think this is all for the present dear but

look out for some comics by the nearest

post.

Best love

your ever loving

sister Florence
