Dear Mary

Received your letter with picture in last night it is a dandy my Ruth has grown fine she is some little girl wish I had all of their pictures to see how much they all have grown hope you are not tired out let the children get up stairs before they fall to sleep if you can mostly it is a very long way to carry them I have had bad luck again was out of luck by going to dressing station to get my thumb dressed & they saw I had that rash on my skin just my luck though wasn't it well just hope for the best
we are going in again soon will be great if I can come out once more will write you again then glad Lloyds came over to see you people their children are getting up like a couple of ours by now they have two or three well will close with much love & thankfulness for that great & lovely letter of yours will have to get this in, if it is posted today

Yours
Roy Gullen
