Well with love

Dear Mom,

Just a few lines to let you know that I am all right and feel good. but it is damp here in England.  Mom this is the church I went to in England for the third year (? not sure) of war and it sure is pretty inside and it is big.  I wish you could see it.  Mom please tell Avis to take care of herself because she has me worried the way she writes in her letters and tell all the kids I said Hello, and hope you are all well and in good health.

I will close with love,

from Owen

Dear Ida,
Your letter rec'd.  I did not improve fast enough so came here.  Like it very well.  Am drinking freely of the water.  And the hills, woods, and all the big out of doors are taking out the kinks.  No body here that I know.  Some pleasant people here.  Nice table.  Napa soda baths.  Music.  Dancing.  Will stay a week come Sat.

Lovingly yours,

Lovely cool day after a thunder shower and small tornado about 7.30 last night.  Trees and vines went down near by, and electricity and telephone were "out" until 8.30 this a.m.  Went to church this a.m. and then to a tea roon for a fine dinner--lamb 4 vegetables blueberry pie and ice cream.  Had a jolly picnic Friday with Miss Spencer and 4 guests at Swift River Falls.  Coming back through Bartlett, Intervale (?) and No. Conway.
More company coming so I will come home Tuesday p.m.
The J's (?) more blueberry up yesterday, but I sat under some trees and gazed at Mt. Chocorua.  Am having a fine time.
Love--
E
