Mrs. Walter Cook Receives Letter from Her Sister 97 Rosebery St., Liverpool, December 80th, 1940 My Dear Bertha, 1 wag sorry I was not able to write in time for Christmas, but with air raids, blackouts, busy at work and at home, I haven't really had a minute to spare, although I intended sending the enclosed calendar over a month ago. I hope I'm not too late in wish- you and Walter a Happy and Pros- perous 1041. Let us hope that soon we will once more be free of this ter- rible world trgedy and be free to live our own lives once more--the sooner the better! 7. Well, Bertha, I expect it will be : stale news for you to hear that your poor old hore town has been getting & Jolly: 'good (but undeserved) batter- 1 feel so sad about it, IT feel I 'rather not talk about it, except ] pathetic it is to see one's favorite places Yetting such brutal treatment, I cried when I saw our church bombed at Mossley Hill. You fll remember the church we all at- tended. It has been and is a very anxious time for everyone; but the workers a d belpars are real bricks-- pirit wants some crushing We, ourselves, had a very nasty time about six weeks ago--a block of shops very near us was demolished-- "got the blast. And what a blast! Soot, (piles of it), on my new carpet, down the chimney, bricks, slates, chunks of wood, and all sorts of debris--upstairs and down--no one went to bed, and we looked like chim- ney sweeps. William and I tried to clean up next day, but there was only a trickle of water to be had. It was a fearful time. .It was just like an earthquake. I feel very disheartened when I look at my place; but we are better off than thousands who have no homes. left. There are huge holes in every bedroom. We can't use the up- stairs. Of course it started to rain and it simply poured in. The rain got under the linoleum and even came in- to the kitchen, We have decided to move as soon as we can, not a very hopeful business with so. many people homeless. We find the cellar useful for shelter. Rather a co-incidence the same night--poor old Aigburth got a real hard "going over" and I knew 16 o the people killed in the next road to where dad lives. Five roads are al- most uninhabitable, including our old home. We can hardly realize it after 80 years there. Dad was here on this very night. Goodness knows what would havé happened if he had been at home as half the front bed- room wall fell on the head of his bed. There's hardly a roof on, no windows, cracked walls. Poor dad got a shock, but he is reconciled to it now. Chas. has put most of the furniture in store, Well, Bertha, I'm afraid I haven't got very cheerful news for you this me; but the only subject on every- formation useful to the enemy.
