My dear Norman,
Just a line tonight to say I sent a parcel to you today. There was a cake and pudding from Illma, a pound of butter from me and tin of preserved peaches. Some lollies and sugar from Illma and I. I thought I would send that lot this time and next will send my pudding and cake. You ought to get them surely.
What do you think Norm, they only charge 3/- for the Soldier's parcels and they charged 6/- for yours. The soldiers' go for half price, but it is a good thing that they do for the poor fellows want them. You can let me know if you want or is short of anything. I will send the other parcel perhaps the next mail.
How is it Norman you did not send me a line this mail. Oh I am disappointed Mr Mackay and Mrs Higgins and the bonny girl opposite all got letters and I never got a line? Then you would catch the mail. Now my dear boy do so, if it is only a line. May ? Gooud got one from you but I think it must have missed the last mail. I hope you got the draft all right. Let me know as soon as you get it.
There was a wedding in the Church this evening, one of Mr Whitton's daughters and Mrs Tring played for the first time since Stan's death.
Mr Manning was in to see me Xmas eve and had a glass of wine and cake and Mrs Manning came to see me Xmas day. She sent me a nice bottle of scent and a Xmas card, She had a piece of my pudding, thought it very nice.
I see there is a mail going Saturday morning so want to catch it. Tell me if the address is right on the letters I send. You ought to have a lot of my letters by this time. I will enclose the parish paper. Now my dear boy, I must finish and post this or I will miss the mail. Look out for your parcel.
Dad sends love and heaps of love and kisses from your loving Mother XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
