My Dear Billy,
Just a few lines dear hoping
you are keeping well [das]. As you see by my
address I have moved once more I don't
seem to be able to settle down these days
I only came here yesterday and the place
seems alright so far, Auntie Bertha got
me this place and she came this morning to
see if was getting along alright pom-
-pom. I went to [Shirebrook] for a weeks
holiday before I came here and I had a
very good holiday too heaps of boys
and plenty of [dances] and picnics. I
managed to make a conquest [alright]
but I don't suppose I shall write to him
as boys are nothing in my line as
I'm more for [fruit]. I dare say you will have
plenty of strings to you now eh.

I went up to Auntie Ada's at [Darnall] before
I came yesterday as Vera's out for 3 weeks
holiday and she's gone is [Darnall] up on my
word she is a shy little kid I wonder if
she really knew me as she never said a
word to the cat but even then I must
say she does look well. Betty hasn't
come home she's gone with the girl guides
for a [fortnight] I do hope she will have
a good time. All the maids at my last place
had to leave as the general passed on to the
other side of the [river] and the old girl timed
out a bad egg she was the absolute
[limit] [when we left] she gave us 4/
short of our wages the old cat so I told
her I was [illegible] if she was by [Jove]
I think burning would be to good for
her. What do you think to my photo
everyone says it a very good one of
me I don't think it is. Do you like this
[we] I've got you I hope you will

dear as I got out from Mansfield
about 6 miles a way from where I stayed
By the way have you got a []
wrist [watch] by any chance if you
have tell me something else you would
like dear old chap. Well my dear do
write and let me know how you are getting
along as it worries all the family
when no one hears from you. I wonder
if your thoughts are other [wised] eng-
aged what. what. Oh well I suppose
I must use and [shire] like a donkey and
last gallop. Goodbye old man
tile next time.
Tons of love
your ever loving
sister Flo
xxxxx
P.S. I often wonder
if we shall ever meet again dear
I wish I wasn't such a coward
to cross the big [spitt].
