My Dear Grandma,

I got a pretty doll last night. I am learning my a.b.c. and can count a little.

Annie wrote this with me holding her hand. She made the kisses herself.

Dear Grandma,

As Kate is writing to you I think I will send a little note too. I enjoyed my holiday at the Isle of Man very much. Nearly every day I had rides on the donkeys, and two bathes in the sea. I played on the sands the whole day with my spade and bucket. About a week ago we all spent a day at a farm house and as there was a very nice little girl I stayed there all night and was driven home the next day.

With best love to Auntie and yourself.
I am
your loving
Annie

God's goodness hath been great to thee
Let never day nor night unhallowed pass
But still remember what the Lord hath done.

This is where Dick gave me my engagement ring

Here we are at Wearhead, near Grandfather's birthplace.

We want to hear from you at 21 Station St, Waterhouses, Co Durham. Hope you are well as we are.

This dale is lovely; some day I would like to bring you here.
