It reads:

“Dear L,

Just a lime hoping you are quite well, I am just going to stay with Will. His people are away so he is all alone. If you do get out on Monday will you come here, I shall be here. But if I am not will you come down to Will. Waiting to see you, ask name to do me a special favour and let you come.

Give my kind regards to Her and Flo,

Best love Jack.”

Finally finished the ground floor. Now to start the bedrooms and first floor. I’ve used photos on google for the Bronte’s Parsonage as inspiration this isn’t an accurate recreation. It’s mostly late Victorian/Early Edwardian decorated for my 1900’s town I am doing.
