Dear David.
Your washing came this morning with the other things in it for which thank you very much they are all very nice indeed.
I am so sorry you were feeling so miserable I hope you have recovered a little by now. Though I know when one gets very depressed it is difficult to arise from the mental slump into which one has sunk.

I enjoyed my day at Elizabeths yesterday I called to see my Aunt Ethel first and then went on up to Elizabeth's.
William was in fine form and there was a good party on there. Derek [character deleted] (I have forgotten his surname) was staying there and pa Moloney & Norah came over to tea. William was surrounded with beautiful home made presents. Pa Moloney goes to carving classes at Reading University & had made a wooden truck for William. It is hard to say which of them was most pleased with it. Brian had also made a wooden bus.
