My dear papa

I am quite well – & so was Ben by the latest intelligence – last Monday. – We will be very glad of his newspapers. –

I have been amused by the Saltley war in which you have been engaged so warmly. As you know my strong bias in favor favour of Reformatories as preventatives of prisons.

Your aff ec affectionate daughter DMM.
