My darling Mummy.

Thank you for your letter and the photo which is a very nice one. We knew you at once. We played St Joseph’s yesterday only boys were [deleted] aloud [/deleted] [inserted]allowed[/inserted] to play and they beat the score being 5-0. Last night Mr. Shelveton Miss Shelveton’s brother showed us movie pictures he took in Burma and [deleted] afric [/deleted] Africa, and he showed us the Niagra [sic] falls, it was quite good. Our drawing Exam Marks are not yet settled. The weather is still bad up here. The food has become much better, and twice we ha [deleted] d [/deleted] [inserted] ve [/inserted] ve had beef stake [sic] and other nice things. We will soon be playing St.Joseph’s again and hope to beat them. I am ending now with lots of love and kisses from your
