The weather down here is glorious

I could not wish for better,

Also we have plenty of sports

and I am getting very keen on

them in fact I won't miss anything

if I can help it, people

who have visited Grantham call

it the flower garden of England

and it is so, for no one can call

it any different. You can send

me a little money if you can

spare it, because I can't get down

unless I have 10s8d  ten shillings eight pence  which is only

half fare it is 137 miles from

Lpool  Liverpool , whatever you do don't 

go to any trouble to get it


 left side, final page of letter 

 

for I would sooner stay where

I am than get you in to any

trouble, I will see you both if

I can get down, this is all I

have to say at present hoping

you will write soon.

I remain,

Your loving Son,

Jim
