Dear Mother

The parcel arrived to-day in excellent condition. It was ideal and sometime when we come in late, tired, and hungry, that chicken and lobster will have made a tasty repast. We would like to have some of your own made fruit cake but let me warn you don't send another parcel without enclosing the news. Lily + Estelle Vivian and you omitted to do that and it is a disappointment to find no note in the parcel or tucked away in the folds of the wrapping. It must be a month since hearing the home news and you all can improve on that even if some of your letters do not reach me. Write many of them oftener.
