It was quite an interesting visit for me & she urged my coming again – Some one in the house is very fond of music for I saw piles [double underlined] of music on the piano several heaps like the one [underlined] we have on ours – She said her granddaughter or great granddaughter played the violin piano & ukelele [ukulele] !!
Well dearie I must stop now – I hope the Commission comes soon & I am very glad you are enjoying yourself so much – I phoned father

about your request for money – he says he will send it today he did not say how much – It is better to ask us for it than Lesley Bates – because I think he needs all he has for he has to "buy so much" [underlined] instead of it being given out by Quartermaster Dep. We can generall [generally] let you have it more easily than Les – so let us know "ask us" [underlined] when you need it – as you did this time. Your father has told you to ask when you need it.
Fond love from all – no other news I think. Your loving Mother
Wiliford looks finely & expects to go back very soon.
