Dear Jack & Gladys.

                                     Often I think of you

& I have just come acrossed your address. I trust you are both well.

  My husband has retired from the

sea this last two year, he is not at all well with his stomack, & I have an awful job to keep my blood pressure down, otherwise, things are not too bad.

    I do hope our Charles Chaplin is not

going back to New York for good. I don't think he will, & when the time comes I want him buried in English soil.

 I did love Charlie as a child & still do.

Everything seems in a dreadfull muddle everywhere.strikes 9 killing going on. Food just goes up & up.

 I have just written to Mrs. Waysblum &

Ruth. I have not seen them for some time as I cannot get to London very often, & they have not been down
