Transcript

Roos Hall, Beccles
Sunday

Dear Dr Aldis Wright

Many thanks for the copy of Prior’s lines which I hope Fred will not forget again. Baldry called the bulrushes “Poker docks” & seemed surprised I did not know what he meant, I never heard the word before. He comes from Kirby Cane & I often notice he uses queer words—they may be his own invention.

Yours sincerely
Annie M. Robinson
