My dear dear May
I hope you are quite well. I wonder what it is like on board ship, I hope your beds are comforterbel and that you don’t get tossed out of them. I send you 5 or 6 kisses night and morning and I hope you do so to us. Ethel is very busy with her dress so I am rather left to my own devices but I manage fairly well. Ethel just manages to squeeze in a few lessons. I made a frame out of a box and I put some violets in it, I shall be very glad when I have my new garden. I took the cats out in the perambulator today, I took them down the road and into the village to the front gate, I think they enjoyed it very much. Ethel says that the machine is enough to egasparrate a pig as it won’t work. It is nearly seven o’clock and I want to go on with [?] mother’s skirt so till I write next.
Your loving sister
Juliet
