My dear Ethel

I don’t know if they have written you from the Hospital, but are very sorry to tell you our dear Ern is very ill in there, I go over as often as I can, have just returned now.  I found him very bad, but will let you know how I find him each time.  I hope you had a nice Christmas and I wish you all a very happy new year.  Please excuse this short note as I feel very worried about him and cannot collect my thoughts, hope to have better news next time, with kind love to all from

Your loving Sister
Amy
