My dear Son,
At last, we really were worried after 8 weeks, we just like to know you are O.K. & appreciate
how full your life is. Thank you for cheque dear, I took it to the bank today & was very chagrined to find you
hadn't signed it so I have to
return it for your signature. It helps pay gas & electricity. Phone charges & rent go up in April, so it goes
on. There's talk of putting
Road Tax up to £50.
John dear, Judy tells me she has asked you to lend her money to go to Los-Angeles in the summer. Its up to you of course
John, but I don't agree to this mad idea, there's some fellow wants her to go & she wants
Allan to
have Tess for a week or two. She's got so many expenses & if she
does get a house she'll have to
have some neccesities It really worries me. She doesn't get her priorities right I've got Tess 2 weeks as
she's gone off to Austria with
some Jewish fellah. I don't care for her, but I do for Tessa. Don't mention about her asking you for money, Dad would
be furious, he's mad at her now
& is barely civil to her.
I've bought Tess some clothes today, she grows so She's no trouble at all, just exhausting!! She's lying on her
belly on the floor drawing pictures. Dads asleep, but will be writing to you. Take care, glad you are getting exercise,
its not good to have your nose
to the grindstone too much. When do you go to Atlanta & for how long. All for
now dear, again many thanks,
hope to hear from you soon.
Love as always,
Mother, Dad & Tess.
Enid's letter,
I think she's got a nerve.
