DARLING LITTLE JANET
HOW ARE YOU GETTING ON? I SUPPOSE YOU ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO DADDY CHRISTMAS CALLING TO SEE YOU ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT. OF COURSE, HE WONT [SIC] BE ABLE TO BRING YOU QUITE SO MUCH THIS YEAR, AS WITH THE WAR ON THINGS ARE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE AND ARE HARDER TO GET. STILL I EXPECT HE WILL BE ABLE TO FIND YOU SOMETHING, AS YOU HAVE BEEN A GOOD LITTLE GIRL
I EXPECT YOU WILL SOON BE BREAKING UP FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS
TELL MUMMY SHE MUST NOT FORGET TO BUY SOME GRIT AND SHELL FOR YOUR CHICKENS
MUCH LOVE AND KISSES FROM DADDY
