Great knitter. Knitted and re-footed all husband's socks<br><hr>
    Letter from Grace Todd (married name Forsyth) written in 1946<br> from Broughton, Ernespie Road, Castle Douglas, Scotland to her niece Margaret Isabella Silver in Queensland, Australia<br> My Dear Bella,<br> I am afraid I am very bad with the pen. Well, I had yours some time ago and went about answering right away but here I am. I went to see Aunty Dan on way here. (I am at ?? for a few days with my younger daughter). <br>Auntie is really looking very well but her memory and sight have gone since I seen her last. I try and see her every few weeks. She forgot you sending her the beef tea. <br>
    I tried to talk of people she knew well, but at times she went right away. It is all very sad and I feel terrible sorry she is so far away but there is a great comfort in knowing she is so well cared for.<p> She has every thing that she needs. The sister was so nice and told us she was their best patient, so that is nice to know.<p> How is your Dad? I really ought to write him, he really is a marvellous man. I am always interested to hear of you all and often feel how nice it would be to pop in and have a real heart-to-heart talk.<p> That is how I am enjoying the few day's here. I really ought not to have come down at present, so much to be seen to in the garden, but it was just a chance (they were all thrilled to see me) <p>The girls knew nothing about me coming and what a surprise they had. This is a lovely place and the sea is almost on their doorstep and I love the sea.<p><p> At home, I am miles away. Jessie my other daughter is still waiting on a house in Inverness.<p> Her hubbie went to a place last Christmas and has not been able to get a house yet. They are in Dalbeattie, seven miles from Castle Douglas, so I see her and the children fairly often.<p> Dennis the eldest will have to join up in October, he will be eighteen. I know his mother is not looking forward to him going. <p>She has a little girl, eleven years old, which will help to keep her company.<p> So you see house are not to be had; prices are also scandalous when there is one on the market. Everything really is tighter then during the war.<p> The bread is being rationed which I think is ridiculous.<p> Of course, this government is to blame; at least I feel it is.<p> However, we have to grin and bear it. If I was a younger woman, I would be going overseas.<p> I had a lovely letter from Lizzie <she means Maggie> in South Africa as I came away. We have got two new cousins, both boys.<p> They are very proud of them naturally, I don't hear very often from America.<p> Of course, it was poor Aunty Lizzie who wrote but she has gone and the younger members have not the same inclination to write - not like you, you are really good.<p> Please remember me to Dad when you write to him and when you have time, tell me about all the different members of the family.<p> Love and best wishes from Aunty Gracie. <hr>
