"April 4th

Dear Helena,

I am at last sending
you a P.C. but of course I always
'send' a message to you in Gladys'
letter. I trust you will have
a very pleasant time at Easter
although you will be kept busy.
We are having ours as usual.
What do you think of the strike -
It makes me get up early that
is one thing. I can have long
sleeps now for a week. Give my love
to Mrs & Mr Heaney. I had a
P.C. from Jim. Best Love. Edna

Oh, please tell Gladys - a P.C. has
come for her from W. Hookham Hall.
"

I greet you on this morning,
And wish this Easter find,
You gay of heart and happy,
And with a peaceful mind.
