Transcription:
"My dear Papa
Thank you very much for your nice letter. I jumped into the bath but as it was shallow I did not jump in yesterday. Amy Massey bathed twice she had a life buoy I suppose it was to help her to learn to swim
Miss Bates has got some little American children over here.
With our very best love
Your loving Nesta"
