Letter to Joan Wareing from Olive

Letter to Joan Wareing from Olive

She writes about the grand news. Kitty and Bob quickly passed on the good news. Olive could have jumped over the tallest chimney with delight at the news. It is hoped that Bob will soon recover and return to Joan quickly.

My Dear Joan
We have just “run out” of Orders, Invoices etc, so have “grabbed” the opportunity to drop you a few lines. Have had relations staying with us over the week-end, or I would have written yesterday as soon as I heard your grand news.
Kitty told us & also ten minutes later Bob rang up to tell me / so you will see how quickly good news can travel.
I was certainly happy Joan & could have jumped over the tallest chimney here at Frod. with delight for you.

It has been grand to know what hope you always had & to know also that our hopes & prayers must have been answered.
Trusting Bob will soon recover & return to you quickly.
Cheerio Joan,
Sincerely
[underlined] Olive [/underlined]
