Correspondence from Pearl Brooksmith to Gerald Yorke

 

     

 

Eastbourne.

 

 

Sunday.

[Undated: circa September 1936]

 

 

Gerald dear—

 

Did you think I'd gone completely mad when you got my telegram?—[illegible]—so I told him to wire—[illegible]—It was re the American question which apparently [illegible] seriously—only [illegible] is held up by lack of funds—As far as I can see from the American letters he has a fair chance of making some cash if he can get out there. Anyhow I suggested that [illegible] drafted a business letter to people whom he thought would be interested and hope for the best. I don't see how we can do it under 400—but we may find someone who is willing to put it up as a gamble.

     

I go to this address house till the 22nd. Then if the flat is still there (or if the rent is paid) shall go there till I have found a job of sorts—

     

Have just given the female [illegible] which she is [illegible]—I haven't had a chance to read it yet!

 

If I am not frozen to death in Eastbourne shall hope to see you in the near future.

 

Yours

 

Pearl.

 

Forgive pencil—but I've lost my pen!
