1 item

c/o Mrs Wilson, Myers Farm, Silverdale. Carnforth. - Very pleased to get Julian's letter; Mr and Mrs [Gordon and Emily] Bottomley were surprised he could write so well already. 'Jack Frost about' here'; the window in his room was open last night, and this morning the bath water was very cold. Hears Julian is at Cambo; hopes he will have a good time with the cousins, and sends love to them, Uncle Charles, and Aunt Molly. Hopes Mrs Boucher is happy at Workington with her parents, which is 'not so very far' from Silverdale - but there are large hills in between which, he has climbed with Charles and Molly, and also with Mr Reade. Has also been there with Mr Reade, and watched him climb 'up rocky places that would have frightened Jacko [a monkey?] even'. This house is quite near the railway station, and he sometimes sees trains with more than fifty carriages and wishes Julian could be there. Not good terrain for 'tractor-engines', though has seen one in the distance, and also a 'steam-roller asleep under a sheet at the side of the road'.
