Dear Mamma,

Thank you for your letter.

How many of what kind of carry cot stands do you want? What size is the carry cot?

32" long by 15" wide roughly?

28" long by 14" wide roughly?

I am sorry to have delayed so long, but will be in time for the next lot of kids.

What do you want for Christmas?

love and kisses from,

Peter

(XXXOOO)^{ooh la.}

Dear Mamma,

We are looking forward to seeing you again. I enjoyed having you here so much and hope that you will come every year. I am sorry that I was never able to find your spectacle case. I think I have taken the house apart pretty thoroughly, but with help from Thomas it is always possible to lose things in it. But you did leave behind your pink slippers and we will bring them with us.

I have been so worried about Thomas since his halfpenny that I think I have imagined him more ill than he is. He is certainly very well now and his behavior is horrible. His best words are "No" and "u - u" (American no): Peter is teaching him his ABC and he can say it nicely. He has learned how to open and shut all the doors which pleases him greatly.

Love to you both,

Julia
