Drawing a sheep's head
My dear Mother
Last Saturday we could not have any animals to draw, because the old sheeps head stunk so that we could not have it up and the butchers had not sent another one so tried the kitten but she would not keep stile , so then we had some very old leather bound books and set them in an artistic form and Mr Littlejhon showed me how to paint them and he did a lovely one himself, so this morning I have been doing one for him, we are going to have a cows head next time if we can get one. Elton and Mrs Lancaster are both in bed with influenza, so the doctor has been sleeping in my room where there are two beds, and the Dr in his own room so we are having a real upside down turn about. I am making a man of war and if I make her well she will be a splendid one. I’m afraid you wont be ably to have a entertainment when I come because my show has got all broken up. I can’t think of anything else to say so goodbye (fn) with tons of love and kisses to all from your loving son
