50 Elphin Grove Hawthorn

Dear Mum

I am having a lovely time at Elphin Grove. Lately we have had a fair bit of homework but I got it done neat and tidy every night.

I went to the Olympic Pool on Saturday and stayed there right to the last race, I was with Nicki Powell his sister and his Mother so I had a beaut time. We had a holiday on wednesday so I went to the Hawthorn baths. I didn’t go to the march but went to the all (Jouiners) Juniors instead.

I have been going to the baths either to have a swim first and then have a couple of games of table tennis with Nicki.

Lots of love Mum and to Auntie Else and Uncle Frank
