"Mrs Wordsworth, 65 Esplanade, Knott End Fleetwood. Dear Nellie, Got here yesterday dinner- Ferry is lovely. Iwould go back and forth all day, last night I went to Fleetwood, went all length of docks and saw the ships. Across from the house we can see Barrow, Heysham etc. We are on one end of Morecambe bay. It is a very quiet place and I like it very much. Yesterday it poured til tea but after it was nice. Today it is lovely. We are lodging about opposite back of the motor. House just off this photo. Best love Dora.”
