Dear Mummy,

I have just gotten to the Professor's house and I have written you a leter like you wanted me too. I have not gone to bed yet because there is not a bedtime here and I don't like the bed because it has sheets which are scrachy. This house is very big and I think that if I shouted in the hall then it would eco but I am not alowed to shout because there is a cross lady called missus Mcreedy who says I am not alowed to disturb the professor. There are not any other children had been evacyouated here as well, the people were all saying that there was not enouf places for the children but I am glad you did not make me get evacyouated with the peoples from school because I do not like them very much. There is lots of outside things here and about a hundred million trees which might be good for climbing but I think mrs mcreedy/mcmeany! would yell if I got dirty because she doesnt seem to like me much. I do not want to go to bed. And the bed is very scratchy. I am going to take this letter down to the maids who said they would make sure that it would get taken down to the post office in the morning so you would no I go here safe because the train trip was very boring which is a shame because trains are very eciyting. When will I get to come home mummy?

Lot's of love
