Needless to say I am greatly pleased to know that the children are well and enjoying themselves.  I asked Mr. Wood for photographs of yourselves, your home and something of that kind which could be sent to England but if you have sent them yourself that is quite sufficient.  I am sure that the parents in England will be glad to receive pictures of the Town of Middleton or items of interest about the town, also that a picture of yourselves and your home will be greatly appreciated.  You can imagine how you would feel if your own children were thousands of miles away living with strangers.  I feel that anything we can do to assure the parents that they are well happy and properly taken care of is well worth doing.
