Dear David
Often I have asked you to help me in my many difficulties, & you have, but really now I do want you to help me on a silly little thing, a matter of £3.0.0 [illegible].
As I told you I had taken a furnished flat—(furnished by my [illegible]). [illegible] the [illegible] another to keep his [illegible] place [illegible]. I was never born to responsibility never. Now, I want you to send this money to me or truly I shall otherwise starve & [illegible] you do wire it. You see I am in [illegible]. My mind is completely (how do you say) Ka Ka & I am in my fifth divorce which is not so good. So send this wretched £3.0.0 tomorrow & let us meet, do.
Love
Betty May
