Dear Mary,
I received your letter a couple of nights ago. Well I am afraid I have not much news for you this time I’m afraid. We have still winter here snow fancy you, in April & very high winds. Apparently it is the same all over. You seem to be having a dull time of it but cheer o, better days coming for us all, sometime. If you require a rest you should go home when your time is up. It would certainly do you good. I see Phemie is not going to Buckie after all rather expensive I expect. I had a letter from a friend in England and – was saying that fares have gone up a lot. Where is Jean McRae just now? I wrote N. Huston the other day.
I must now wind up hoping to hear soon again.
Love from D.
