Child's letter written by the donor, Robert Smith, to his mam Mrs Dulcie Smith of South Shields. The letter is written on pink paper with an illustration of a jester printed at top left. The letter reads, "Dear Mammy, I got a surprise when Nana told me that you had gone to hospital. Please do not worry about me, I am quite alright. We are having a puppet show. Please may I go. It is two weeks come Wednesday. I hope you are well and come home soon. Love from Robert". The letter may have been written when Mrs Smith went into hospital after having given birth to her second child Janet at home.
