Dear Ma,

I am living with someone called Mrs Bird and she is very kind to me. The best thing was when we arrived Mrs Bird gave me a small piece of fruit cake and a hot cup of cocoa. Every breakfast time we have one boiled egg and some bread and butter.

The country is so different, not like the city. The fields just go on and on. When I am in bed I hear owls  hooting. My room is up in a small attic. There is a small candle on a little wooden table. I see a lot of baby lambs so me and my friend play with them. My friend is called Donna and she lives down the country lane.

Missing you,

Love Mary xxx
