My dearest Juliet
I was so very sorry to hear about your Mother, you poor child. I am very glad you wrote and told me though. I am afraid you won’t be back at school for a little now. Do come back as soon as you can because I am sure it will be better for you to get into some sort of routine as you do at school.
I saw in the papers that your brother Cyril had been wounded again. I am so sorry and I do hope he is better now. I am afraid that this is not a very comforting letter, but I do sympathise with you.
With very much love
From your loving
Joyce
