Dear Bruno

Received your letter today. Your teeth must have been sore but it is good you have them out and the hospital is the right place for you for a few days. I sent a parcel with cake and fudge Saturday.

The last star story wasn't much anyway and I only got it back from Lucy yesterday.

Lovingly yours
Mother.
