KINGSLEY,&#13;
GILBERT ROAD,&#13;
HALE, CHESHIRE.&#13;
My [underlined] dear Rosemary [/underlined]&#13;
Many thanks for your letter dear and I am glad to hear that most of the girls are going home for Half Term altho’ I must say that I’m surprised.&#13;
I have tonight written to Miss Stopford saying that you will come home.&#13;
Enclosed please find £1. ie [sic] two 10/- notes to cover your travelling expenses etc.&#13;
Please do not think that Mummy &amp; I did not [underlined] want [/underlined] you to come home my dear girl&#13;
[page break]&#13;
we imagined that all the girls would remain at school on account of the uncertainty of Railway travel at the present time &amp; also its delays &amp; discomfort which we wished you to be spared.&#13;
Make sure that you wear your warmest clothes as the train may [underlined] not [/underlined] be heated &amp; the journey may be prolonged.&#13;
As Mummy has to go to the Dentist on Friday afternoon you had better come straight home from Manchester.&#13;
You must get a ticket at the booking office for Hale &amp; catch the first train home.&#13;
I hope that Jane Cox may be doing the same &amp; so be&#13;
[page break]&#13;
[underlined] 3 [/underlined]&#13;
able to accompany you but in any case I’m sure that you will be able to take care of yourself and know what to do.&#13;
If you have to wait for a train to Hale go into the Restaurant any [sic] get some tea but be sure to get the first train that you can.&#13;
I hope that you will have a good journey my dear and we are all looking forward to seeing you home again.&#13;
With all our love to you sweetheart I remain ever your loving&#13;
Daddy.</text>
