Dear Daddy,

I wish we were all beside you again. I miss you such a lot. I am so glad we are going to see Grandma. I have not seen them for such a long time. Bill is going to sleep at Grandma's and we going to sleep at Aunty's. We are having such a lot of snow here. I've never seen so much before. We have our half term holiday on Monday.

Love to Daddy from Mary
