My dear Rosemary
We were very glad to receive your letter of the 5th my dear and to read your news
I’m sure that you would be glad to get a letter from Uncle Alan & thanks for sending on his birthday greetings
So you have a cubi for School Cert term, I think that it is a good idea as you have more privacy & comfort if you wish to retire & study.
