Transcript 'B/P 6/5/1965 Thanks for card just received. It's pouring rain at present and very cold. Yesterday was lovely and I had a turn round the churchyard where the daffodils are a picture now. Mrs Belford is celebrating her 92nd birthday today. She has heaps of cards, flowers, sweets, eggs and fruit. Wonderful old lady. The Guild go to Eastwoodhill on Monday for our annual visit to the old folks. Hope I feel more like it than I do today -not feeling too good. My love to you both, and all at Shiel Rig. Kate.
