30th January.&#13;
Dear David&#13;
&#13;
This is just to let you know that I have written two cheques on joint a/c.  One for £2.13.0. for new sheets &amp; pillow slips &amp; another £7.12.8 to my Mother this [word deleted] is the customary £3.0.0. for fuel plus laundry, cow &amp; gate &amp; new bath for Frances &amp; some material from  Army &amp; Navy Stores&#13;
[page break]&#13;
[deleted] that [/deleted] to be made into dresses for Frances later on.&#13;
For cash I have drawn  £3.0.0. from P.O. Savings.  I have £20. in there now.  I do not spend much in cash on Frances (unless I buy the Cow &amp; Gate instead of Mothers)  In cash for myself (i.e. to have my hair done [inserted] etc. [/inserted]) I use P.O. Savings to get cash but replace with cheque from my own a/c.&#13;
I have explained all this so you have some idea of the amount of&#13;
[page break]&#13;
money I am spending.&#13;
The bill from the garage (for the christening) came in £1.5.0.  this includes fetching nurse from Ashstead.  I [deleted] did [/deleted] [inserted] do [/inserted] not think they have overcharged I will pay the bill in cash.&#13;
Love from&#13;
Joyce</text>
