My dear “Children”.

We were all so glad that

we got in a first-class carriage & rode most comfortably until we got to Bank Top where the football crowds rushed the train & we travelled to Nelson with [underlined] 27 [/underlined] passengers in our carriage. We got in home about 6 & had a nice rest before proceeding to the worst cinema show I’ve ever seen. (“Dad’s luck again as Miss Chester said”). She came back with us for another cup of tea & I’ve bid her goodnight at 11-40. She told us this a.m. that Mr & Mrs Chester were waiting [inserted] up [/inserted] for her, to hear all the news which I thought rather nice of them. Now I must say

With all our love & every good wish from
Mother & Dad.
