Dear dear Mamy The Johnson's are here because of the new baby I was dragging Kootle in the cart all this morning because she had no goloshes on. We picked some flowers and put them in water this afternoon. We get on very well with nurse. I put Walter and the Becoo to bed last night. I mean to say that I folded up their clothes and took them off Yates gave them their bath Kootle did not slepe [sic] here and before they went to slepe I gave them each a piece of sugar and a biscuit. It is so fine today. Maurice and I send love to everybody. From your loving child Gertrude
