Last night Mrs. Breed, Florence Breed and Helen Dunn came over. We played "Bridge". We expect mother and dad down to-morrow.

It was too cold to go in swimming yesterday so we didn't attempt it. There was a cold wind blowing.

Martha and I went to a card party yesterday and had a lovely time. Mrs. Breed & Florence Breed went home to-day.

I forgot to tell you that the other day I made my first cake. It turned out alright, it must have because the kids are all living.

Lots of love, Marion
