Dear Queenie,
I am worried because i will be leaving long wood jr school soon to go to Harford sr the more I think about it the unhappier I become. I don’t want to leave this lovely school . I have been at this school since I was five years old I know all of the teaches my favourite teacher is miss Deadre goughf she is beautiful and kind to me and she never gets cross or tell me off. i like the playground at long wood jr the sceanery is beautiful you can see the barn , flagstaff and the back of the island , the school backs onto napoleon ‘s house .We will do all the things that big children do so there won’t be anymore singing ring a ring a roses .i won’t miss mre Thomas hitting me wih her cane but they tell me that the head teacher at Harford hits children too, I expect she will hit me as i am bad.i played with one of the bigger girls aftér school and at weekends her name is violet moyce her mum lives in England Violet lives with her dad and four brothers I think that Violet is so lovely . I must say bye to you now as I can hear muma calling me I think that the chickens are in the garden . bye for now Queenie love from Dorothy xxxxx
