Feb 9 Red Barns, Coatham, Redcar. Dearest dear Father. Many many good wishes - amour, santé et bourse pleine! The first you will always have enough of, the second depends mostly on yourself, and as for the third we can keep up a semblance of fulness by not taking too much out! So you see my wishes are not far from being fulfilled.
We got your telegram and were delighted with the news - thank you very much for it. Ever your very affectionate daughter Gertrude
