Dear Billy
I shall have to apologize for
not sending you our Vera's letter and photo
before. I have had [her] for her month
holiday and I think she has had a good
time I thought you would like a photo
of her. I hadn't one of her, so I took her
to have it taken, and it is a very good one
of her. [It is just like life]. I ought to
have sent it before. I hope you will write
to her and tell her you have received it, she
asked me how long you would be in
getting it. I am sure you will like her
letter I think it is a very nice letter
Uncle and Edwin wish to be remembered to you
and hope you like being in Canada and hope you
are happy, did you know that Edwin was
married at Easter? We often have our Florence
to [see] us my word she does get a big fine
young lady and so does our Betty she went for a

walk to the seaside with the girl guides
and the went back to the Orphanage
but she has had a splendid time and she
did look well and as brown as a [bear]
Our Vera said that you might come home
at Christmas if not you would send them
some apples she is a little [comie] she does
say some funny things some times and she talks
that quick she is like lightening here and
there in a tick, we have missed her since
she went back, Well dear I hope we
shall hear from you soon. Write as soon as
you are getting on and if you like it.
Gladys (that is Edwin's wife) wishes to [be remembered]
to you I think that is all this time.
Fondest love from us all to you, from yous ever
loving Auntie A. Mason.
