I am so pleased you are to be with Jack & Phil. <br> I feel sure they will do all in their power to comfort you. Well, we are into this terrible way.<br> Oh may God be good to all & stay it soon. This morning the rolls are gaining a little.<br> They are brave, may we be able to settle this once & for all. All the Allies have done well.<br> Let us pray God will see fit to finish it; only He can. Well, I want to give Bella a few lines & Aunty Maggie & Lizzie.<br> My sight is still bad also my leg is not back to normal but glad I am now able to manage for James & self.<br> He keeps pretty fit. Grace and her husband bought a house in CD. Their two daughters and their families have had to leave their homes so are all with Grace but they have a fair sized house. <br>Well give my love to Jack & Phil. <br>Must write Jack this time.<br> Now dear brother I know your will miss your dear one most but again I know you do not grudge her her rest.<br> My sympathy & love<br> Your loving sister<br> Joan Todd<br><hr> Letter to Bella Silver Dobbs from her aunt Joan (Dan) Todd<br> 88 Cotton St Castle Douglas 12/10/45<br> My Dear Bella,<br> Here I am to give you a few lines; I thank you for yours. <br>Air draft letters take so long to come and go. I will write Dad next week. Letters do not seem to land regular; you or Dad should have had one letter at least. <br>Oh Bella, I am so proud and pleased to hear Eva has called her little daughter Janet and am sure your dad is proud.<br> I hope all your family are well. Aunty Maggie seems wonderful. Had a letter from her last week and Aunty Gracie had a wee note from her, so we have decided to write her one at a time.<br> Hope Jack and family are all well; expect there are some ready for work.<br> Well, Bella, I am a proper invalid; have to be helped in every way but I'm thankful I can feed myself.<br> We have got a very good woman keeps us both clean and comfortable and uncle and she go on well together.<br> Uncle and Aunty Gracie keep pretty well, although he has some nasty turns.<br> But Bella, you seen none of us are so young. My minister and his wife are very good coming to visit me. <br>We are a much scattered family. Do you know none of you ever mention your husband. Hope he is well.<br> Now I think I'd better stop, my eyes fail me when looking long at anything.<br> I get a bit in my chair when fine but winter is at hand so won't get out much. Now dear with love to all from you loving Aunty Dan.<br> Joan Todd, 88 Cotton St, Castle Douglas.<br><hr>
