My dear Phyl.
Just a short note indeed to thank you for the snaps and ask you to get a copy for yourself of those of 77. I enclose the negatives & a cheque for 6/- to cover the cost.

offered to pay for all the cost of removal except the bath & the carpet sweeper £13 in all which I think quite reasonable – don’t you? Also [indecipherable word] Flats have accepted my notice to leave as from 1st August. so everything is settling down slowly.
Heaps of regards to home & Libby
All the best – Love.
