Dear Papie,
Raymond and Anne picked all that flower that you told Dordie to botanise and Dordie is very angry!!!! Granet says we will want tools (wooden) she had them for that (?).
Ask Mamie could not she and Miss Evans come down some day next week or on Sunday.
Did any of you guess who the Snorter was.
We saw three magpies yesterday they were in the tree in the garden we went over to the Hut yesterday and made things out of the clay. Annie made a nest and put a hen in it. Dorothy made a lighthouse and I made a nest and an egg in it.
Please give my love to everybody and tell Anne and Bee I will write to them soon
Your loving
Nesta
