Dear Queenie I got a letter and a parcel from my mum today she sent me a beautiful yellow dress with lots of lace and pretty bows i feel like a princess.I am so happy to have these nise presents it makes me forget how nasty popa is, i also forget about my teacher hitting me, she is always hitting me i never tell muma as popa is so nasty to her and she is always crying Mrs may yong came to the school today to see if we had nits she said that i had nice hair but i also had lots of nits and headlice she gave me a note to give to muma but i threw it away on my way home i don’t want to worry muma . well Queenie there is nothing new in my life it is the same old thing, muma crying , popa sayiny how much he hates me my teacher hitting me i spend all my time thinking about my real mum I am sure that no one would hurt me if she was here but she lives thousands of miles away from me. i have nothing at all to look forward too. love you Queenie from dorothyxxxxxxxxx
