When I woke up I got dressed and had my bread and milk. then I started to do my chores for the day for this is a thing I have to do at the foundling hospital. I know that my dear mamma writes to me but the matrons don't let us have our letters from the people who have so called abandoned us forever but I know that somehow somewhere mamma is gonna get me out of this place I guess its not to bad being here but I don't get any postage stamps to send private letters to my poor dear mamma. oh how I miss her so she means the world to me but the matrons say that we shouldn't care for the people who hated us or who said they couldn't cope with us . But I think that she is lying to me .I only got to see one of my letters from my mother this is through miss Ans worth she now lets me write to mamma every time she writes to me but obviously no one  else knows this about our little letters for the letters do not come to the matrons as they come to miss Ans worth's office in the house of governors in the top of the  hospital I almost know all of these letters off by heart:

Dear Dalilah,

 Hi it is so good to write letters and know that you will be able to get them as they always go to the matrons first I am so  happy that I now get to talk to you I know this may not be as good as seeing you in person but I cant really come back can so I decided that I would talk to miss Ans worth and she said that I could and  that I was to sent these letters to the house of governors so I  did I'm so glad I am now able  to talk to my little baby girl.

with lots of love  from mamma  xx

I know that this might be a bit kid of me to know a letter my mamma wrote to me but I love her so much and now that she is gone I am going to miss her dearly but now that I know she is safe I will not carry on to worry as much as I did yesterday for now the worry has left my mind and now it is full of peace.

I wrote to mamma and I am now waiting for my new letter to come through the mail oh I cant wait. Cant wait for tomorrow I am going to be able to have a position in the city in Essex in going to Mr lamberts house cant wait he is a writer like me I have written a couple of memoires and the matrons said I will never be able to go and get them published and  have an actual leather cover with a golden rim oh if  only I could maybe just maybe he will publish them for me.
