My dear Mamy We are having such fun here. Yesterday we caught an alive eel Horace caught it. Yesterday evening Horace and Maurice caught two fish in the harbour and Horace caught such a big one. Every morning we go to the rocks in our wading suits, our game is to jump off the rocks into the pool, we call it taking headers, it is such fun. Give my love to Papa. From your loving child Gertrude Horace sends his love to you and papa.
