All the Ladies from/Leesfield had helped to make it a Day to/Remember. Aunt Frances and Aunt Charlotte are/seeing that everyone gets a mug of Tea. Miss Carter (who/wore Pink) came, but did not bring her apron, so she/looked after our dogs, Gyp and Barney. Mother is also/helping, but is rather anxious lest George & I go/ near the poor children, especially one little boy who has/ put up his hand saying "Please Miss, I feel sick."/"Dear me," said Mother "what shall we do with him," but/we found out that the poor little boy hadn't had/anything to eat all day and had come over faint,/and the year was 1907/ Helen Layfield Bradley 1971.'
