June 24 Red Barns Coatham, Redcar. My dear Papa Jack is quite well we let him out of his cage every day. There are four lily leaves above the water. I am just going to bathe for the second time I like it so much. I feed the pigeons every morning. Maurice and I are quite well we both send our love from your loving child Gertrude
